On the right track, but now let's allow mixed use.
We should model after Japan where you can business and residential are almost always allowed together. If you own the land and want to sell just 1000 sqft of it, go ahead. If the market wants it, someone will buy it and do something with it.
You often get some cool architecture this way as well. People designing places based on the land instead of cookie cutter houses all built at once.

Japan has no urban growth boundary. It sprawls for days. Most of the population live in suburbs. The size if Tokyo suburbs are the stuff of legend. They are denser, but they are SFHs.
We'll never get Tokyo due to the GMA.
