		<description><![CDATA[A pattern is emerging here. | Update 9/16: Senate Bill 9 is now law. Urban housing shortages aren&#8217;t just a cause of climate change. They&#8217;re a lot like climate change&#8212;it&#8217;s very hard to fix them unless you can get many different governments to act. That&#8217;s what we told the New York Times this week when they asked for Sightline&#8217;s take on California&#8217;s proposed state-level legalization of duplexes and lot splits on most low-density residential lots.

		<title>A New Idea for State-Led Upzoning: Letting Cities Opt Out</title>

		<description><![CDATA[After this, it'll take a supermajority vote for a Connecticut city to re-ban ADUs. | As more and more states look for politically feasible ways to legalize housing amid an alarming new spike in home prices, new ideas keep emerging. This year, Washington state introduced one such concept: local fiscal incentives. Three state bills there would have given cities extra chunks of tax money for legalizing greener, less expensive housing options like ADUs, fourplexes and apartments near transit. Though they didn&#8217;t pass, they did win...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A good Oregon bill would hold high-capacity transit lines to a very basic standard. | If the government pays hundreds of millions of dollars to help build and operate a high-quality transit line, people should generally be allowed to live near it if they want to. You&#8217;d think this would be uncontroversial. Especially among people who run public transit agencies. Unfortunately, some transit leaders here in Oregon seem to be distracted by the exciting goal of building high-capacity bus and rail lines, or at least...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[President Joe Biden wants you to lift your bans on duplexes, apartments, and car-free homes. | It&#8217;s happening. Five years after the Obama White House released a memo endorsing local zoning reforms as a way to fight displacement and boost the economy, three years after the Trump White House did essentially the same, and one year after Donald Trump himself took an interest in the issue long enough to flip-flop on it and spend several ill-fated weeks making the case for neighborhood segregation, US President Joseph...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Every time California rejects a housing bill, it offloads its housing shortage on other states, too. National leaders should act. | California&#8217;s repeated failure to strike down local bans on close-in housing has an incalculable number of victims. But 13 million of them live in Oregon, Washington, and Idaho. Year after year, through booms and busts, California sends a one-way jet stream of people moving north to Cascadia. If comparable numbers of people were instead able to flow in both directions, those Northwest states would find it much easier to build...]]></description>
