Zoning In On The American Dream

Housing remains the cornerstone of the American Dream and over the last two decades that dream has faced truly tumultuous highs and lows. From the free money days of yore to the lack of inventory days of now, Americans around the country yearn for more homes.

New housing really needs to be placed around available jobs and reasonably established centers of commerce. Injecting 4 to 7 million new homes and millions of people in need of housing into already existing communities is where some challenges can arise. There are a myriad of potential issues when it comes to the U.S. housing market, but the one we will be focusing on today is the somewhat complicated issue of ZONING.
