Context
Changes to state and local laws have made housing projects easier to move from conception to construction. This has allowed projects to bypass the Planning Commission entirely. As a result, the commission's workload has decreased.
The decrease in the commission's workload may be due to either the new state laws or a lack of funds for building projects.
