    Cities have started to fix it, but it was mostly a zoning loophole. Protected industrial zoning typically allowed building 'mini warehouses' with limited public comment, no parking, on land that was fairly cheap.

    Made self storage plentiful and cheap in areas where housing lot sqft was limited.
