A new approach to land zoning could be the answer to the housing crisis. 

New Zealand’s housing crisis is locking families out of home ownership, but what would happen if local streets and neighbourhoods were the ones to decide what can be built and where?  

Hyperlocal zoning allows the community to vote on potential developments, balancing the preferences of locals with the need for more housing.  

The system has found success over in the States, with housing becoming more accessible and affordable in Houston, Texas.  

Maxim Institute Researcher Thomas Scrimgeour told Mike Hosking that it could either work as an opt-out system or an opt-in, but either way it would need the support of a majority of the community.
