PRIORITY CAMPAIGN
Incremental Housing
The housing market is broken. To fix it for everyone, we’re going to open the door to
incremental development.
The next increment of development should be allowed, by right, in every neighborhood in America.
What's Happening Now in the Incremental Housing Campaign
It Starts at Home.
It Can Start with You.
Dynamic & Responsive
Your city’s housing market should be free to respond your city’s evolving needs and capacity.
One Simple Rule
No neighborhood should experience radical change, but no neighborhood can be exempt from change.
Strong Local Leaders
A bottom-up orientation to housing requires strong local leadership.
Legalizing Incremental Change
For too long, housing policy has put investor returns and macroeconomic goals over the universal human need for shelter. Restrictive housing policies have also prevented people from collectively building the prospering cities they desire.
There should be no substantial barrier that prevents a neighborhood from evolving over time in response to local needs. That’s why Strong Towns has been advocating for a better approach to housing for over a decade—one that allows for the next increment of development on every property by right. It’s not a miracle cure, but it creates positive feedback loops so that success can emerge over time.
Together, we can unlock your community’s housing market, ensuring that there is an adequate amount of housing at prices people can actually afford.
