People are asking "But what can Oregon cities *do* to get more homes built at lower prices? City governments don't build homes."
Today @sightline has the first of a couple articles to answer that question.
It's all about a number: 4.

Laneway homes could help address the housing crisis but current city policies make them a risky move for homeowners.
We spoke to Jake Fry, an advocate of @SmallHousing, housing minister @KahlonRav and more on whether selling laneway homes is feasible.

People expect governments to work together to tackle the housing crisis and provide more homes for people. 🏡
Which is why I’m proud to announce today that: nearly 90% of BC communities have already adopted small-scale multi-unit legislation!
