housing policies
Residential development rules
Housing policies are government decisions about where and how people live—zoning laws, rent control, public housing programs, mortgage regulations, and development incentives.
The term often appears in debates about affordability and urban planning: The city's housing policies favor developers over tenants.
Critics blamed restrictive housing policies for the shortage of affordable units.
