  • Regulatory burden - Housing bills often involve zoning, construction codes, or landlord-tenant regulations that generate opposition from either developers/landlords or tenant advocates depending on the direction
  • Fiscal impact - Any bill creating housing programs or incentives will face scrutiny regarding state budget allocation and whether public funds should subsidize housing solutions
