Show Notes
Arizonas housing crisis worsens as homeownership costs surge and rents climb, with over one in eight households spending half their income on housing. A bill, HB2375, failed but its core idea lives on in SB1188, which allows cities to opt out of rules for middle housing like duplexes and townhomes. Supporters argue it preserves neighborhood character, but it blocks cheaper housing options for essential workers. The bill slows down construction with discretionary reviews and hearings, pushing up costs and timelines, and shifting the housing crunch elsewhere as Arizonas need for more homes grows.
