The federal government was tackling the problem of how cities build homes. This includes pushing municipalities to build more fourplex and mixed housing units.

In much of the country, zoning restrictions mean developers are only allowed to build either single-family homes or condo towers in residential areas. There is a huge chunk of housing options, often referred to as “missing middle housing,” that does not get built.

We need to make out cities and towns more family friendly. This “missing middle” is a great first step back in the right direction.

This video is also worth a watch. It explains what the missing middle is and how it can make cities greater and more livable.

    Do you know if these are along the corridors and not across the city? Lazy to check and you seem to have read that already. 🥹
