Last month, the city council of Berkeley, California approved a resolution that called for the end of exclusionary zoning by 2022. It might not be surprising that a progressive enclave like Berkeley passed such a measure but communities of all political leanings are starting to reconsider both the intended and unintended consequences of restrictive zoning laws. That begins with the acknowledgment that many of those laws have been used to discriminate in housing far beyond the Fair Housing Act of 1968, while also advancing the perception that thriving suburbs consist of for sale, single family homes surrounded by manicured lawns and picket fences. Thankfully, municipalities are challenging those narratives by using upzoning to combat housing shortages and affordability concerns, which in turn will help make suburbs more accessible and inclusive.
