Back in the spring they announced that they were planning on basically changing all zoning to allow for duplexes and quadplexes in all existing single family lots - now they've finally introduced the actual legislation that'll do it.

I have been waiting for this since they hinted at it months ago and I am happy with what I see. The minimum zoning rules are solid.
With regards to the removal of public hearings for spot rezonings that match the community plan, and requirement that community plans reflect the 20 year need for housing - I hope these are as impactful as I understand them to be. I hope to see a lot more density being built, more quickly.
Quads are a really great way to not actually address the problem in the slightest.
So dumb.
