Finding a home has become a game of musical chairs where too many people are competing for too few homes. Portland is helping reset the game by making it legal to build the kinds of homes people need. vist.ly/4wpp8

washingtonpost.com

Portland has a wonky secret to building cheaper houses. Other cities are copying.

Portland legalized fourplexes, tiny houses and backyard homes and then sorted out how to actually get them built.

Finding a home shouldn’t feel like a game of musical chairs. Decades of restrictive zoning and red tape have limited housing options, leaving people without a seat when the music stops. We partnered with @sightlineinstitute to explain why housing matters. Full video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=NRaJ...
