About the Regional & Local Planning category

Discuss federal involvement in local and regional planning.

What’s this subcategory for?
To explore how Congress supports or regulates local planning efforts.

How is it different?
It focuses on planning frameworks, not direct housing or development funding.

What should posts include?
Zoning impacts, federal grants for planning, and smart growth policies.

Why not merge?
Planning deserves separate attention from direct funding or affordability.

Engagement policy:
We welcome all viewpoints, as long as they are respectful. Keep the focus on policy and legislation, especially Congress. Avoid partisan debates about the presidency.
