Dems need to find another speaker of the house stat. If your first step out of this election is delaying permitting reforms for housing affordability in the name of more {waves hands} “process and input” you’ve completely missed the message. Not the right person for the moment. Move aside. We’ve been in self-imposed stagnation when it comes to building ~anything~ in the physical world for decades. It has made everything we rely on more expensive, more scarce, and - perversely - worse in quality for the outcome. It’s also become a direct cause of hardship for those at lower and even middle incomes. Our housing stock is older than it has ever been. Yet it’s also absurdly expensive. Get on board with removing largely performative barriers that punish everyone (but especially the poor) or get out of the way.
