You think that's 'moderate'?

Reply to comment by Whaddaulookinat in CT affordable housing law 8-30g would change under GOP bill by Whaddaulookinat

I’m not sure SFH conversion is necessary at all.

There’s several trends that ignores: 1. De-industrialization, which has been decades in the making 2. Reduction in brick and mortar retail and shopping plaza popularity, 3. Reduction in office space needs due to increase in flex work.

Go to any developed town in the state and you’ll see lots of land that could be repurposed with zoning changes. The state can force the hand of towns with those zoning changes.

You don’t see haphazard zoning in better planned areas. Why force multi family and apartments in SFH neighborhoods when there’s so many other options?

So the state could be aggressive about forcing smart zone changes on these NIMBY towns that have no vision.

I’m in Milford and I see it here. They’re against 8-30g, but have made it difficult for developers to build in industrial and commercial districts which are ripe for redevelopment. A perfect example is their denial to the mall to build apartments. Very shortsighted. I’ll say, they probably do a better job than most “nice” towns, but there’s room for improvement.

There’s so much underutilized land in this state, it’s ridiculous. And with certain trends, those properties will be more prevalent. No need to encroach on quiet neighborhoods without the infrastructure to accommodate it. We can build density with intention and smart design, near public transportation, with traffic bandwidth, and commercial centers.

So even the moderate right are nut jobs now?

I’m just saying, he’s significantly more moderate then most of the actual right wing nut jobs in office… insults start to mean nothing with you use them against literally anyone you don’t like.

Also the Democrats won Avon this past election…. Good effort though

I'm in favor of body cams, but I can see why they aren't always a good thing. Cops interact with people in all kinds of situations. For instance if someone you cared about was hurt or killed in a car wreck, would you want footage of that ending up online? As long as there is a recording, there is a possibility of that recording being made public.

Is this where IBM(?) use to be? There was a park in New Canaan I use to walk at that was cooperate, yet anyone could walk the grounds. I can't remember the exact location or what cooperation owned it. Circa 1994

So, like I said, not a Subaru driver, but that’s one hell of fantasy you have going on there. Have a lovely day and don’t forget to fuck off into the sun.
