We work with policymakers to rethink existing laws to fix root causes of high housing costs and empower people to choose where how they want to live.
What does the #AZStarterHomesAct do? Re-legalize "starter homes" by preventing local regulations from: - outlawing small houses or requiring houses to have a big yard - indirectly forcing people into HOAs - micro-managing home aesthetics @senanaliseortiz instagram.com/reel/DG3kXi0yK…

In this weeks’s newsletter, I have a rundown on how a starter homes bill passed in Texas, while a near-identical bill died in Arizona due to opposition from Gov. Katie Hobbs, the AZ League of Cities. Plus, a new constitutional challenge to inclusionary zoning fees.

Big government and taxpayer funded lobbyists are crushing the dream of home ownership. There is a solution available to put homeownership within reach for first time homebuyers. We can do something about it right now. 👇🏻
If the average age of a first time homebuyer continues to increase as quickly as it has over the last decade, she will be 74 years old when she buys her first house. Something needs to be done NOW.
