AI GeneratedBallot Question 7 proposes allowing single-family homes to be built on smaller lots (at least 5,000 square feet) provided they have public road access and utility connections. Supporters argue this will address the housing affordability crisis for first-time buyers and veterans, while opponents claim it is a mandate that ignores local infrastructure and environmental needs.
