• JUNE NIBJ: Facing unique workforce housing crisis, region realizes unique solutions (cdapress.com) — Post Falls is being held up as North Idaho’s model for tackling the workforce housing crunch, thanks to smaller lot-size rules and projects like the Miracle on Britton development. Regional housing advocates say these local changes could help keep prices more attainable as growth surges, while nearby cities debate whether to follow Post Falls’ lead or favor larger-lot sprawl.
   

• Post Falls cracks down on unauthorized 'social trails' damaging local parks (kxly.com) — If you walk in Post Falls parks, the city is asking you to stay on official trails as it cracks down on user-made “social trails” that are eroding hillsides, damaging habitat, and creating safety hazards, especially at Black Bay Park. Crews are blocking off rogue paths, restoring vegetation, and may add stone or log stairs where people clearly need safer access routes.
