Are We Doing This Right? // Single-Family Zoning Edition
We explore a few of the common assumptions about single-family homes and single-family-only zoning (not the same thing!), and discuss recent moves to re-legalize other housing types, such as duplexes and fourplexes.

Show Notes
Across the country, cities big and small are facing a housing affordability crisis, yet many single-family houses sit vacant. Many of the same cities have serious infrastructure funding shortages. We examine the role of single-family zoning in shaping these issues and more—and we explore why there is momentum building to re-legalize other housing types, such as duplexes and fourplexes.
"Are We Doing This Right?" is our new podcast series where we dig deeper into an issue that affects cities across North America, bust (or uphold) a few myths, set some context, and give our frank opinions about whether or not we could be doing things better. (Hint: we usually think we could be doing things better than we currently are, but we always try to find examples of places that already are doing a good job.)
Your hosts for this episode: Jordan Clark & AJ Fawver.
