Are Special Interests Running Our Legislature?
The House Municipal and County Government Committee voted HB 341 Inexpedient to Legislate (ITL) by a vote of 10-9 on 3/12/2021. We agree with that recommendation and thus urge the full House of Reps to vote YES on ITL, rejecting the bill for good.
Write to them here, asking them to please vote YES on ITL of HB 341:

Sadly some legislators have introduced a bunch of similar bills that attempt to urbanize rural towns in NH by favoring high-density construction over single-family homes. These bills should be sent to the trash bin.

When the pandemic hit, the U.S. was already going through a major affordability crisis. The rising cost of living and continuously growing income disparity have led to millions of Americans being priced out of the housing market.
The solution to a more affordable housing market seems to be simple: more housing. But the barriers to building more affordable properties, however, seem to be relentlessly increasing instead of disappearing. High land and construction costs, outdated zoning regulations, and slow and burdensome permitting and approval systems are some of the challenges developers usually deal with.

Is Texas’s Affordable Housing Endangered? Not yet, but state and local lawmakers need to act to keep it from going that way.
Texas
Politics and law
Though Texas most recently made headlines because of its epic energy debacle, the state has been seeing a flood of newcomers attracted by many factors, above all the state’s low housing prices. Those low housing prices, however, may not last long. Affordable homes have already almost vanished in many Texas counties. According to data from the Texas A&M Real Estate Center, of all the houses sold in Collin County, a suburban region of Dallas, in 2019, only 4 percent cost less than $200,000 down from 51 percent as recently as 2011. In the Austin metropolitan area, the average house now costs almost $397,000, up from $200,000 in 2011, according to data collected by Zillow.
