Maine clears the way for more multifamily housing, ADUs

It’s a practical move in a state that needs tens of thousands of new homes by 2030, and one more sign that the national conversation on housing is turning local—and urgent. Danielle McLean with SmartCitiesDive has the full story on the moves Maine is making to get out of the way of housing.
