What the document says

“a conservative Administration should oppose any efforts to weaken single-family zoning”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 511

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”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 511
That sentence, in plain words

Push back on any move to weaken single-family zoning rules.

What this is about

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.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to read this page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the book itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
