Oppose efforts to weaken single-family zoning
What the document says“a conservative Administration should oppose any efforts to weaken single-family zoning”
The chapter says localities rather than the federal government must have the final say in zoning, that legislation should give states and localities maximal flexibility and minimize federal preemption of local land use decisions, and that freedom of association and self-government at the most local level must remain primary considerations.
What the document actually says“a conservative Administration should oppose any efforts to weaken single-family zoning”
Push back on any move to weaken single-family zoning rules.
Some areas allow only one house per lot. That is single-family zoning. Some want it loosened to build more homes. The book says to resist that.
Read against the documents indexed here on August 26, 2026, and nothing was found that answers this. No indexed action opposes efforts to weaken single-family zoning. EO 14394 is the nearest: it directs HUD to promulgate regulatory best practices for state and local governments, including allowing by-right development for single-family homes, capping permitting timelines and fees, and removing urban growth boundaries and growth moratoria. It promotes single-family construction rather than defending single-family zoning, and it issues federal best practices on local land use, which sits against the chapter's ask that federal preemption be minimized. Public Law 119-101 runs the other way on the same question: section 107 requires HUD guidelines recommending by-right duplex through quadplex building and the elimination of restrictions on accessory dwelling units, while barring any adverse action against a state or locality that declines to adopt them. That is a record of a search, not a finding that nothing has happened: an act this site does not hold, or one that answers the proposal in words unlike its own, would not be caught by it.
