Crossover Week and Maryland's Housing Crunch
With crossover week in full swing, housing policy takes center stage in Annapolis. This week on the Conduit Street Podcast, hosts Kevin Kinnally and Dominic Butchko break down Maryland’s housing challenges and the debate surrounding the Housing for Jobs Act — a proposal with far-reaching implications for zoning, infrastructure, and local decision-making.
As Maryland navigates affordable housing shortages, infrastructure demands, and legal questions, this bill raises significant concerns about growth, school capacity, and the role of local governments in shaping development.
Tune in for a timely discussion on how this legislation could impact communities across the state, what’s at stake for county governments, and why flexibility remains critical to addressing the housing crisis.
