Two months ago something happened to Idaho that nobody's talking about enough...

I voted no on all of it.
HB 800: now manufactured homes can go on any single-family lot statewide. Your city doesn't get a say (unless you've got an HOA, which is the only thing they left standing).
SB 1352 is the one that should scare you. Cities over 10,000 can't require lot sizes bigger than 1,500 square feet. So now they can fo 12 units per acre, mandated by the state. And it passed the House 36-34. Two votes decided the future of your neighborhood. Flew through the Senate.
SB 1354: says ADUs can now be forced into every community and HOAs are stripped of the ability to block them (SB 1353 would've crammed duplexes in too but that one died in the House).
You know what none of these bills do?
Not a single one stops institutional investors from buying entire subdivisions and converting them to rentals. California money is flooding our market and pricing Idaho kids out of homeownership and nobody addressed it. Nobody even tried to hold anyone accountable for the actual "affordability" problem.
They called it "housing affordability" but it's just developer welfare.
The interim committee that produced this whole package? Run by Sen. Ali Rabe, a Democrat. Guess who was at the table writing the recommendations. Developers.
And Republican legislators delivered it for them.
Governor Little told the press in 2023 he opposed the state overriding local zoning and said it wasn't his approach.
Then he signed every bill a few months ago anyways and never explained what changed.
Oh and Idaho isn't alone...
Over a dozen states ran the same play this year. Montana. Colorado. Virginia. Georgia. Read the bills side by side the framing is almost copy-paste (i.e. National leftist playbook).
So, this session the Idaho legislature decided Boise Democrats and developers know better than your mayor and your planning commission.
And exactly NONE of these bills will make housing affordable.
But they will make a lot of people RICH!

Sounds like some piece of shite legislators should be having some very sleepless nights.

The Democrat way. And they will blame PDJT and R's when things turn to shite as they will do.
All the while creating generational wealth for them and their developer buddies.
Like locusts, move to another state, rinse and repeat.

I hope...can you imagine trying to have a garden on a 30'x50' lot? What are they building?...3 story tiny homes?

Probably shotgun homes which take up most of the lot, like driving through areas of Kenner.

Can be. Sounds like they are throwing whatever shitboxes they can on a densely packed area.

Isn't this describing NIMBY-ism, which is making housing more unfordable by making development less possible and more costly?
Allowing smaller lots and putting manufactured homes on SF lots opens up the market by allowing more options for developers and consumers, no?

Again, allows (not mandates) more housing development

I've been warning for years that the influx of California and Oregon transplants were going to flip ID and wreck it. You're looking at the next Colorado.
They're holding on in AZ but the Canyon State concerns me too.

CA has enough emigration to flip Utah, Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, AND Wyoming and still remain hyper-DEM internally.
I've posted about this for years. When they flip the Senate of a couple of those states, they're going to have a major tactical advantage.

I think they're trying to get these modular types of homes installed on smaller lots. To be honest, these types of homes are probably better built than an on site assembled types.
Without reading completely, you could also probably roll in a single or double wide too.

Correct, which will create a more likely scenario of housing supply, which should decrease housing costs/prices.
If localities are engaging in NIMBY-ism and thwarting development, you're going to decrease the amount of housing inventory, which will increase prices.
You see this on hyper-scales in areas like NYC and SF

Democrats are sick and evil people.
Can’t even let people enjoy their lives without shoving their agenda down their throat.

There's nothing dumb about anything he/she wrote. The bill had broad support. across both parties, but you don't like the bill so anyone that points out facts is "dumb" (is that with a 'b'?). Apparently, elitists like you feel that small homes are indicative of people who aren't quite your class, and anyone who can't afford a large home isn't worth spit - I assume your precous savior Jesus feels the same way, though your type of thinking is similar to elitist lib progs, so you've got that going for you.

No matter what type of home they put on a 30'x50' lot...there is no room between you and the neighbors...no privacy outdoors nor much indoors. To look out the window and just see another wall or window that close?

False, this bill is a Trojan horse to flood people from out of state to Idaho.
Dems played the long gain, republicans played the money gain.
While we’re at it go frick yourself.
Edit: also I don’t think you know what the meaning of playing dumb is.

Wouldn't you try to frame ANY attempts to increase supply this way?
If supply doesn't increase, how will prices fall?

No, not if I was a normal human being.
