'Master-plan' Communities Tackle Housing Shortages

"The reasons for the housing shortage in California are myriad and complex, but one of the largest contributing factors is the lack of available land...Increasingly, the answer is the "master-plan" community, where lots for single-family detached homes are generally smaller and sometimes include multifamily dwellings. In addition, master-plan developments are built to be pedestrian-friendly, where families can walk to get groceries or dine out — thereby lessening traffic demands — and where neighbors feel part of a defined community."
