Certainly.
Since my appointment, I've been across the country talking to developers and I have heard from almost all of them that the time it takes to get zoning revised and their applications approved is too long at the municipal level, and it's not consistent across the country. Different municipalities have different zoning restrictions, different requirements and different speeds at which they are able to address the issues, so it's not universal across the country, but the nature of the issue is constant.
It causes developers significant delays in getting their projects off the ground because it takes a while until they can start construction, which includes two problems.
One is that in itself, it increases the cost of construction, because they have to carry costs, because if they can't get to construction, they ultimately can't get to sales. The other is that it also delays the construction of housing that is desperately needed across the country.
