Progressive champion Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D–N.Y.) is generating a good deal of buzz among supply-loving housing reformers for supposedly seeing the light on zoning reform after her political action committee (PAC) released a candidate questionnaire endorsing a number of prized YIMBY (yes in my backyard) policies.
The 2022 questionnaire put out by her Courage to Change PAC last week asks candidates vying for its endorsement whether they can get behind eliminating single-family-only zoning, reducing minimum lot sizes, and rezoning wealthy communities to allow for "mixed-income" housing developments.
