There is no refinement of blanket rezoning - it is the optimal strategy for what it sets out to achieve, which is an incredible number of housing starts and re-development at no cost to the taxpayer.

It seems like 80% of the people running in the election are speaking out against the rezoning. Even the progressive challengers.
Blanket rezoning may be optimal for the developers (and their profits) but it seems like it is not optimal for the people, hence why so many of the people are actively fighting it. As I've detailed in my numerous (lengthy) posts, I believe there are many ways to do better and decidedly do not believe this is an optimal strategy.
Optimal strategies that need no refinement typically do not run into massive backlash and opposition.
