    Perhaps because your state legislature has not yet woken up to current housing reality?

    My state's legislature recently overrode local zoning laws to force acceptance of ADUs and duplexes in all areas zoned SFR-only. Numerous people afraid of 'those people' don't like it, but can no longer stop it.

    Townhomes get built around here. They don't see much cheaper than single homes.

    It's what friend of my wife did.

    They've started building multi-family homes with government funding. I'm not sure if it's a state thing or a local thing. But it's just getting started. There were some 20 or so homes built, but now have plans of doing entire subdivisions. 600 homes out East of town are scheduled to be built within the next few years. The problem is even them are a bit too expensive. I think I said $200,000 earlier, I meant $300,000 each, for a 2 bedroom condo. And that's with incentives and restricted deed! No down payment though.

    Plenty of private funding here jumping on the ADU and duplex bandwagons. In certain denser zones, triplexes too.
