We should distinguish rezoning of specific areas or tracts (which are bad) from comprehensive rezoning, such as the reform in Minneapolis to allow triplexes everywhere in the city.

Yeah, I’m talking about the discretionary rezonings for basically every project in some places

I know, but we need to expand the audience to people who are less familiar with the processes and the language than we are. I'm not sure that this comes through here for the unitiated.

Funny thing, I actually work with vacuum tubes all the time.

I work at a particle accelerator, and they are the only things that can work at both high frequencies and high powers that we need.

Well, except transistors are slowly taking over that space, too, in the form of large solid state amplifier arrays.

Also, on your note about what a vacuum tube based society would look like, that's kinda part of the background of the Fallout series (although contrary to popular belief, they do have transistors, too).
