During a legislative session discussing House Bill 2138, Kotek and housing advocates proposed significant changes that would eliminate certain regulations, allow for the construction of duplexes and similar middle-density housing options, and offer incentives for builders. This bill aims to build upon the state's groundbreaking 2019 law that ended single-family zoning in large urban areas—a move praised by the Biden administration as a model for nationwide housing reform.
