The general consensus in everything I read is that it is easier to build in the south (like Florida or Texas). But, where I live now, Central Florida, the zoning restrictions are tight. Even putting in an ADU is a mess. I assume this is because people want to protect themselves from a double wide showing up next door. Sprawl is fine, but not next door.
I see a lot of radical changes happening in the American West. I'm from Oregon where HB 2001 (https://www.oregon.gov/lcd/LAR/Pages/Housing-2023.aspx) passed in 2023 and it and a few other laws now disallow any city with more than 25k people from blocking high density housing.
I'm really curious to see if these things will work and if the pendulum will shift. I hope so.
