This week on Colorado Chamber Office Hours, host Ed Sealover explores several bills aimed at increasing the affordability and availability of housing in the state, which currently faces a shortage of over 106,000 homes.
Ted Leighty, CEO of the Colorado Association of Homebuilders, breaks down the reasons behind the state’s housing shortage and outlines how minimum lot sizes can affect a housing market. He then explains how the legislation will affect the market, help increase the density of Colorado’s housing supply and lower costs.
Sen. Janice Rich (R-HD 55) offers a different perspective, sharing why she believes the decisions around land use and housing development should be up to local governments.
Tune in for a discussion on the balance between state and local control and what the proposals could mean for Colorado’s housing market.
