Description

In this insightful interview, land use attorney Ezra Hammer breaks down California's use of the "Builders' Remedy" law and its potential application in Oregon. He explains how the legal framework bypasses local zoning when jurisdictions fail to meet state-mandated housing goals—enabling developers to push through multifamily projects without traditional entitlements. Hammer explores the risks, court cases, and political appetite for such a remedy in Oregon, and offers actionable guidance for developers eager to pursue housing in restrictive jurisdictions. If you're navigating stalled approvals or NIMBY pushback, this video is your legal roadmap.
