“Keeping planning and zoning local” is precisely what got us into this mess in the first place.
We aren’t overbuilding those stupid luxury megacondos because zoning isn’t strict enough, we’re building them because the zoning laws we have are corrupt and keep too many property owners from following the market and doing whatever the % &! they want with their own property.
Notice how these Republicans
aren’t backing a law that would free up their vaunted “free market” to solve CT’s housing crisis?
Look, these guys don’t all have to be racist jerks in order for them to simply be misguided. And they’re just as misguided as the Democrats, in this case! Affordable housing carveouts are almost as horrible of a policy as rent control.
