đź’¨ Abstract

Governor Wes Moore of Maryland emphasized the urgency of addressing the state's affordable housing crisis at the Maryland Association of Counties summer conference. He highlighted that half of Maryland renters pay over 30% of their income on housing and that the state ranks 43rd in housing affordability. Moore plans to streamline state permitting, leverage public land for new housing, and set statewide housing goals without providing specific details. He also criticized President Donald Trump's policies, drawing mixed reactions from the audience.
