Baltimore City Councilman Ryan Dorsey wants to end single-family zoning and adjust off-street parking requirements, opening up much of the city to multi-unit housing. As long as homes meet certain size requirements, they could be renovated and turned into two, three or even four households under a bill that Dorsey introduced called the Abundant Housing Act.

Housing advocates say that approach could push people into unstable neighborhoods with few services or amenities.
