City of Phoenix addresses affordable housing using casitas

In a decision yesterday, the city of Phoenix has taken a step towards addressing its affordable housing crisis. In a pivotal decision, Phoenix has voted to permit the renting of casitas in residential neighborhoods. This move, following a crisis that has exploded post pandemic, aims to help increase supply and provide families with more housing choices while addressing the city's affordable housing crisis. Casitas, or accessory dwelling units, are self-contained living spaces adjacent to existing homes. By embracing them, Phoenix aims to expand housing options and alleviate housing market pressures. The implementation of this policy by the local Phoenix government is a great example of how important local government is in addressing some of the more pressing issues facing Phoenicians and Americans at large.
