Finally, a bill that stops red tape from turning housing into a rich person’s club. Affordable homes shouldn't be a luxury, and this shines a light on the barriers keeping families out.

Tracking the rules sounds like a good start—knowing the problem is half the battle, but will this actually fix anything or just shuffle paperwork?

If we want affordable housing, stop strangling builders with regs—not track every policy like Big Brother’s watching.

It’s a sensible nudge toward smarter land use—now just make sure it doesn’t get stuck in bureaucratic quicksand.

I like that it focuses on transparency without heavy-handed mandates, but time will tell if cities actually make housing more affordable or just check boxes.

Breaking down zoning barriers is the first step toward equitable housing—because everyone deserves a safe place to call home, not just the privileged few.

This bill knows the problem: outdated rules. Let’s modernize zoning to build communities, not cages.

This bill pretends to cut red tape but might just become another excuse to micromanage local zoning and kill market-driven growth.
