The '''Family Living Act''' (FLA), formally known as '''An Act to amend the Executive Law, Multiple Dwelling and Residence Law, the Public Housing Law, the Real Property Law, and the Tax Law regarding sale of homes to extended family bidding entities and the development of property for residential use''', is a landmark [[Urcea]]n law enacted by the [[Concilium Daoni]] in [[2003]] and signed into law by King Aedanicus IX on March 23, 2003. It represents the most significant pieces of [[Housing in Urcea|housing]] and real estate law in the history of Urcea, and is considered one of the signature accomplishments of the administration of [[Procurator]] [[Michael Witte]]. | The '''Family Living Act''' (FLA), formally known as '''An Act to amend the Executive Law, Multiple Dwelling and Residence Law, the Public Housing Law, the Real Property Law, and the Tax Law regarding sale of homes to extended family bidding entities and the development of property for residential use''', is a landmark [[Urcea]]n law enacted by the [[Concilium Daoni]] in [[2003]] and signed into law by King Aedanicus IX on March 23, 2003.

The building code requirements and preservation zone provisions within the FLA marked the effective death of the legal construction of traditional suburban subdivisions. While construction on medium-density suburbs had effectively halted for economic reasons by [[1995]], the construction and real estate markets had rebounded significantly by [[2003]] and dozens of new subdivisions were under planning or already permitted as of the time the Act was signed into law. Throughout the late 2000s, a handful of additional new suburban developments were completed, either by being grandfathered in or by receiving a preservation zone exemption, but by [[2010]] nearly all developers had shifted to exurbs, UTC-model, or both. Studies indicate that, in addition to the significant incentives towards other models under the FLA, the cost of obtaining an exemption within the zones and the building code changes made suburban projects not economically viable in most places for most developers. | The building code requirements and preservation zone provisions within the FLA marked the effective death of the legal construction of traditional suburban subdivisions.

The incentives provided for under the FLA led to the drastic increase of the construction of [[Housing_in_Urcea#Urban_town_and_country|urban town and country]]-model developments. While some of these had existed since the late 90s, they soon became the most popular style of development in Urcea in the late 2000s and early 2010s. Between 2007 and 2015, more than 1,284 were constructed, fundamentally changing the way that many Urceans lived and related to eachother in both social and economic terms. The subsequent Connectivity Act of 2012 led to a second wave of UTCs being planned and eventually constructed after 2015 with rail links to major cities in mind. | The incentives provided for under the FLA led to the drastic increase of the construction of [[Housing_in_Urcea#Urban_town_and_country|urban town and country]]-model developments.
