Boise’s zoning code re-write
Boise's zoning code has not been updated since the 1960's, and some exciting new changes are being proposed. I'm supportive of the changes which I believe will create more right-sized housing for people, and result in more affordability.
The code re-write does allow for more density in certain areas which for some people is a hard pill to swallow, but as our population grows, the alternative is to continue to sprawl into our beloved open spaces and farmland, as well as increasing challenges with affordability and traffic.
