Governor Abbott Targets Texas Cities Over Housing Law Resistance

Governor Abbott Targets Texas Cities Over Housing Law Resistance

Governor Greg Abbott of Texas is addressing resistance from cities against state housing laws aimed at increasing housing affordability. Abbott signed laws last year to loosen zoning regulations, allowing more apartments and smaller homes. However, some cities, particularly in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, have enacted local rules to limit housing development under these laws. At a campaign event, Abbott criticized these cities for 'skirting the law' and proposed withholding sales tax revenue from non-compliant localities. He also advocates for easier construction of accessory dwelling units (ADUs) to provide affordable housing options.
