✅Thank you! We want to thank everyone that called, emailed and spoke to legislators with concerns about what was in the HB5390 that initially came out of committee. Your efforts made a difference in eliminating the ability of the Office of Policy & Management Secretary to deem…
@Urban_Dispatch @jrojas9 @RepKavrosDeGraw @Ct169S And that’s why badly written bills are passed. People accept the process of badly written bills killing good ideas. They rather posts GIFs and complain than do the hard work of writing a good bill.
@CTMirror Cities will have to choose, give up state funds or yield to overdevelopment and developer enrichment.
@hughsbailey Read White Paper on 8-30g to understand why towns like NC must focus on Col 1 = NC doesn't get vouchers (Col 2): NC doesn't have FDIC farm loans & property values & incomes doesn't qualify for CHFA loans (Col 3) and currently no 8-30g's (Col 4) Link: bit.ly/830gWhite-Paper
Remember “eminent domain”, the landmark SCOTUS case allowing private land transfer to the City of New London for the “common good”? Yeah that was CONNECTICUT. Now we are getting a state-wide ZONING CZAR??? What’s next AG Tong doing struggle sessions with MAGA?

We all know what “as of right” means. It means a developer can walk into the zoning office and have their project rubber stamped; no input from residents or neighbors. @CT_COST @CCM_ForCT @CBIANews @ctrealtors @cthouserules @cthouserules Apparently, members of the P&D Committee…
@Ct169S “Work Live Ride” = “Build Big & Lease” ct169strong.org/letter-to-the-…
Rep Zullo says he could go on and on about the negative issues with Work Live Ride but would rather focus on collaboration and creating real housing for people who need it. "Something that working families could hang on to." @CCM_ForCT @CCMAdvocacy @ctrealtors @CTHouseDems…
#RememberinNovember. If a town does not opt into Work Live Ride (HB 5390), a town has to return ALL of the discretionary money they have previously received as a transit-oriented development. Work Live Ride will cost towns millions if they "opt out." Towns will get a bill for…
If a town chooses NOT to "opt-in" into Work Live Ride, they get penalized & will be deprioritized for needed grants like STEAP and Main Street Investment Fund. Things our local communities count on. Towns already doing TOD get punished. Make sense? @CT_COST @CCM_ForCT…

@Urban_Dispatch @jrojas9 @RepKavrosDeGraw Another badly written bill that most progressives didn’t read or understand. The bill had to be amended after @Ct169S did the work & highlighted its flaws. This law is optional & very few towns will opt-in. Just another example of how a badly written bill can kill a good idea.
