You want change that would help but almost no one would support. Reduce acreage minimums for residential development across the state.

My house is on 3.5 acres in a subdivision from the 90s. We were rezoned to a 5 acre minimum a few years ago. So my current, very spacious lot and those of all my neighbors' wouldn't be allowed today for being too small. Our dozen houses would be 7.

This! If you want cheaper single family housing, look at the last housing boom: Post WWII. They built 3/4BR ranches on 0.25acre lots. Single family isn't the most effective use of space but 5acre or even 3.5 acre minimum is a recipe for expensive housing
