The Rent Is Still Too Damn High

Arizona Agenda
Lawmakers don’t always agree on the root cause of the housing crisis, but in the last session came close to passing reform that would help get more housing built. This time around, instead of big omnibus bills, “Republicans are using a piecemeal approach, breaking up individual ideas from that package to see if some of the smaller bites might be palatable to lawmakers.” Those include HB2518 to speed up final zoning decisions within 180 days, HB2297 requiring cities to allow commercial buildings to be turned into multifamily housing and HB2570 stripping codes like minimum or maximum lot sizes, square footage or architectural or aesthetic elements on single-family homes.
