Vox, April 30, 2024, After Decades Of Inaction, States Are Finally Stepping Up On Housing

Some states that have stepped up include Oregon, Florida, Montana, and California, as well as states like Utah and Washington. This year, Maryland, New York, and New Jersey passed state-level housing legislation, and Colorado may soon follow suit.
