Fundamentally, we need to address basic supply and demand by increasing density in places people want to live and improving transportation options to match housing and jobs. This means reforming rigid zoning laws, eliminating arbitrary restrictions like minimum parking requirements, and prioritizing development centered around transit hubs so more people can access alternatives to our congested highways.

Public state: unverifiedAs of unknown · legacy_unverified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): unresolved.unknown
The evidence shows Moulton publicly supports increasing housing density, reforming rigid zoning laws, eliminating parking minimums, and transit-oriented development, but it does not identify a federal legislative or executive action by Moulton that lowered barriers to infill housing or otherwise delivered the promised outcome. The recent official activity cited is unrelated to housing, and the candidate remains in office, so the promise is best treated as unresolved rather than failed.
