Because, I guess, you need time to figure out how to do the job you've always had. #WalkerMI #housingcrisis #zoning #localcontrol #EndLocalControl

- "zoning changes and other land-use reforms can increase the supply of housing, help control prices, and boost local tax bases."
- "This suggests that ADUs are helping lower and moderate-income folks find housing in areas with economic opportunities."
- "State and local officials who are concerned about housing affordability should follow the science and reform their land-use policies." #Housing #zoning #housingcrisis

#Columbus City Council will receive the departmental recommendations on the #zoning code update in spring 2024; until then they really, really need community support and feedback. Says they're not rushing this process; they want to be careful. But population growth is outpacing housing growth. Thanks people for being so involved; the public feedback and experience is essential.
