President Joe Biden's plan to "eliminate exclusionary zoning" for single-family homes in America's cities and towns might land in the filibuster-proof budget bill that Democratic leaders in Congress are drafting.
A portion of President Biden's $2.3 trillion American Jobs Plan offers grants to cities that "take concrete steps" to end "exclusionary zoning" for single-family homes.
Under a section titled "Eliminate exclusionary zoning and harmful land use policies," Biden's jobs plan argues that "for decades, exclusionary zoning laws — like minimum lot sizes, mandatory parking requirements, and prohibitions on multifamily housing — have inflated housing and construction costs and locked families out of areas with more opportunities."
