Does this city have many multifamily buildings?

[Trevor Bond]

Hi all,

I am looking to move to a new city to do my first house hack and start my real estate journey. I am trying to find out if a city is allowing or disallowing future builds/permits for multifamily buildings. I do not want to move to a city and learn that a city is not fond of multifamily buildings. 

Also, if you have any tips that I could look for related to legal issues, that would be helpful as well.

Happy Holidays and thanks!
