THE HOUSING CRUNCH IS REAL

HOW WE GOT HERE, HOW WE ADDRESS IT AND THE DEMOGRAPHIC SHIFTS THAT WILL IMPACT WHAT AND WHERE WE CALL HOME

Expedited permitting processes should be a major facet of regulatory reform at the municipal level.

With faster approval times, developers could produce housing more consistently, which has the potential to lower construction costs and allow for lower housing costs over time.

The use of accessory dwelling units (ADUs) is not new but provides a relatively immediate way to relieve pressure on the housing market in a region. 

These units provide a benefit for municipalities in that they can increase density, often without the need for major zoning changes and with a more limited amount of construction activity in residential areas.
