Empty Lots Could Help Fix Housing Crisis | Tampa News
Description
Zillow’s latest report reveals over 300,000 empty lots for sale nationwide—Florida and Texas leading the way—with 17% of all listed properties sitting vacant. Could these lots solve America’s housing shortage? Zillow says yes—if we loosen zoning rules and speed up permitting, we could close the gap by 6%. But it’s not that simple: finding land, designing homes, and securing financing are major hurdles. While policymakers are starting to catch on, real change needs local action. With a national shortfall of 4.7 million homes, these lots are promising—but turning them into homes requires solving a complex puzzle with many moving parts.
