Ending single-family zoning is just step 1. “If the underlying premise of the movement around ending single-family zoning is that it’s going to make housing more affordable, my question is how? How is it going to make housing more affordable? What is the affordability strategy?”
While the movement to allow multi-family buildings in zones previously limited to single-family homes is being embraced, the question of whether it will actually increase housing production is a lot more complicated. trib.al/x2J5IYX
