While supporters say it’s urgently needed to combat the housing crisis, critics warn it could weaken accessibility protections and fall short for those on fixed incomes. The bill, returning to committee for revisions, aims to expand where affordable units can be built, allow larger lots and taller buildings — up to 60 feet — while keeping setbacks. The debate is heating up as advocates and policymakers scramble to strike the right balance between speed and equity.
