How Can Communities Fix The Housing Crisis? | The Bill Fulton Interview

Communities everywhere say they want thriving downtowns, local businesses, and economic growth — but the moment new housing shows up on an agenda, the room fills with opposition. So what’s actually happening? In this episode of In Focus, I sit down with urban planner and former Ventura, California mayor Bill Fulton to unpack the real barrier to growth. We go beyond zoning buzzwords and talk about the deeper issue: how human behavior, generational incentives, and changing work patterns are reshaping where people live — and why communities struggle to adapt. We talk about: Why the housing shortage is really a location mismatch How remote work changed (but didn’t replace) commuting Why zoning reform alone won’t solve affordability The myth that housing always hurts property values What small towns need to understand before planning growth Why residents oppose the very change they say they want Let us know what you're seeing in the community you call home in the comments below!
