| 2025 Housing Forward Proposals | ||
Leo`s Notes: Madison’s 2025 Housing Forward proposals are a bold, sensible step toward a more inclusive and affordable city. By legalizing duplexes citywide, easing lot splits for backyard homes, and simplifying downtown permitting, these reforms will unlock more housing options for everyday residents—teachers, nurses, service workers, and seniors alike. If we want a diverse and thriving Madison, we must build for it. How do you think this can be applied to YOUR COMMUNITY? | ||
