Developers haven’t used those rules in decades, sparking debate about whether loosening restrictions will meaningfully ease the housing crisis. One commissioner warns that even major zoning changes take decades to show real impact, while others stress that the real issue is housing affordability and vulnerability. Ultimately, these are policy decisions for the public, commission, and council to weigh carefully as Montpelier shapes its future.
