One big win was SB 840, which allows residential-in-commercial projects (like mixed-use or multifamily housing in commercial areas)
It was a widely supported policy, and had the least resistance.

Moderator Felicity Maxwell adds that the housing wins were largely bipartisan!
Maxwell adds that that was the result of the coalition building work going into the most recent session.

Texas just passed 7 major pieces of housing reform during the recent legislative session, thanks to broad support from different partners.

Video here from @activetowns.bsky.social focusing on street transformations in front of local Parisian schools. These are being rolled out citywide so hopefully some newer ones to check out while you are there. bsky.app/profile/acti...
"Focusing on streets near schools, these plans typically removed car lanes as well as parking spots, and replaced them with a mix of paving and planted areas, tending towards a broad ratio of two-thirds paving to one-third planting."

More than ok - actual housing leaders! Rs in Texas, Montana & Florida are proof that you can be conservative, pro-growth and lead on housing reform. Its a lesson that many long time D state leaders seem unwilling to learn.
