Texas' anti-NIMBY housing law is getting results | Dallas Morning News

The Texas Legislature passed Senate Bill 840 to increase housing stock within major cities across the state. This anti-NIMBY law enables developers to construct multifamily and mixed-use projects in districts specifically zoned for commercial use. By removing the requirement to request special permissions for these developments, the legislation aims to streamline the building process and expand available residential options. Current reports indicate that this legislative approach is successfully achieving its intended results for urban housing growth.
