[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Biden admin (in the Council of Economic Advisors report) recently announced support for a host of key YIMBY policy initiatives this week, like eliminating single-family zoning, reducing minimum lot sizes, and eliminating parking minimums a few days ago. These reforms may be popular among policy wonks, but it remains to be seen whether this will be helpful (or harmful) for Biden's election prospects among suburban voters in key swing states. There has been broad pushback against these initiatives in many states that do not neatly align with traditional partisan politics. Is this a good idea or bad idea for the Biden Admin to discuss addressing this issue so close to the 2024 election? https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/ERP-2024.pdf The zoning reform discussion starts on page 163 for people that want to read it. [/quote] I didn't read all the replies, but zoning is strictly a local matter isn't it? What power does the do feds have to determine zoning and lot sizes?[/quote] The paper suggest they will try to force it on local communities by linking continued federal funding to zoning changes. [/quote] Good. Inefficient zoning and other housing regs absolutely knocks off points of national gdp If local areas want to be inefficient, they should bear the full costs (direct Or opportunity costs) of doing so [/quote]
