Plain-English Summary

The legislation would allow communities to convert unused or abandoned land into housing developments, potentially making it easier for local governments and developers to build homes on vacant properties. This could help address housing shortages in areas with available land while reducing blight from empty lots. The bill affects city planners, developers, and people looking for affordable housing options.
