Overturn inefficient local zoning rules. Many local and state governments have adopted zoning laws that inhibit home construction and drive up costs. Inefficient land use policies make it harder and more expensive to build. Localities need to rework their zoning plans to increase density and allow more flexibility for developers. NAHB supports ideas such as reducing minimum lot sizes, allowing more accessory dwelling units, minimizing parking requirements and promoting missing middle housing (townhomes and duplexes). In addition, localities should consider a range of housing types, including multifamily; opening up areas where residential development has not been previously allowed; and prioritizing development around existing or planned transit stations. Accommodating these ideas can increase supply and lower overall housing costs.
frick this.
There are ways to do this that wouldn't create unchecked higher density and unfettered growth. Planned Unit Developments would be one route that could implement higher density and with design requirements and other controls to maintain community standards.

I don’t have to read this to sum it up - give houses to trans black women.

Based on those numbers, there would be no housing shortage had the Biden administration not reopened the border.

This was done about 6 years ago in our area. It’s a planned neighborhood that includes a small number of apartments, townhomes, entry level homes and high end, larger homes. It also has a senior citizens home and rec center.
I was hugely against this development when I heard about it and couldn’t see how such a development would blend with this community where surrounding neighborhoods’ homes started at $600k. I’m very happy to say that it hasn’t been an issue at all. It was billed and proven to be a beginning to end community with people just starting out through retirement.
The lower priced units are primarily filled with young adults and single parents who were recently divorced. The townhomes are primarily first time home owners. I do have to wonder if the reason it’s worked is because even the entry level apartments are relatively expensive and definitely not targeted to low income or section 8.
