Here’s how to build more needed housing in Florida

Florida is experiencing rapid growth, with nearly 800 new residents daily, leading to increased pressure on housing supply. The demand for housing far exceeds availability, causing rising home prices and rents. To address this, the state should expand housing options beyond traditional affordable housing. Proposed reforms include eliminating single-family zoning, easing restrictions on manufactured and tiny homes, reducing minimum lot size requirements, and increasing accessory dwelling units. These changes aim to enhance housing availability and affordability, supporting economic growth.
