The concept of 'yield' in development refers to the actual number of homes or buildings that can be built, considering all the zoning 'ingredients.' It's the final count after the necessary spaces for roads, setbacks, and open areas have been accounted for.

It’s important to note that while many communities are reconsidering exclusionary zoning practices to promote inclusivity and adapt to changing housing needs, seniors and advocates should actively participate in local land-use discussions to ensure that their unique needs and challenges are considered.
