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

Up-zoning and rezoning policies involve converting low-density, or commercial parcels, to higher density housing lots.

Broadly, these policies should focus more specifically on underlying zoning regulations that can be modified to support the development of new housing over time.

Municipalities and public agencies should assess their landholdings to identify underutilized land or find vacant or blighted lots and rezone these lots for housing, especially in areas in which increased housing would benefit nearby businesses and residents.
