By cutting the approval timeline for 100-percent affordable housing from roughly a year to just 60 days, Los Angeles’s ED1 has unleashed a flood of new proposals. In the two years since ED1 began, developers have submitted plans for more than 42,300 affordable units, and about 75 percent—roughly 31,700—are already approved. In Nashville, a similar policy established in 2019 reduced permit review time for affordable housing from four months to around six weeks, and California’s SB 35 law has significantly shortened approval times in cities across the state, while Honolulu’s attempt at fast-track housing under Bill 7, setting 90-day permit deadlines, has faltered.
