Want cheaper housing, shorter commutes, and more walkable neighborhoods?
The problem isn’t demand—it’s zoning. Outdated laws ban apartments, shops, and even duplexes in most cities. It’s time for zoning reform.

Double that duplex: with high costs of land and high loan rates, buildings with at least 4-5 units are needed to make a “missing middle” project financially feasible. Plus, more housing…
Over @urbaninstitute.bsky.social, my new research on the financial feasibility of small-scale apartment buildings.
Right now, high land costs & high debt costs combine to make duplexes & triplexes really difficult to build.
Cities need to enable 5, 6, 7+ unit buildings if they want more housing.

Small Apartment Buildings Can Help Address Housing Shortages, but High Land Costs and Interest Rates Are Limiting Construction
Recent zoning reforms intended to encourage more duplexes and triplexes have underperformed because high land costs and interest rates mean single-family homes are often still more profitable.
