Ep. 44: Fighting for Local Control of Housing with CT 169 Strong

Maria Weingarten and Alexis Harrison of ‘CT 169 Strong’ — a grassroots organization fighting for local zoning control — dive into the housing issues currently being debated at the state Capitol, including overdevelopment, the impact of 8-30, and ‘fair share’ zoning, which would require the Office of Policy and Management (OPM) to determine the need for affordable housing units: meaning appointed bureaucrats and housing advocates, unaccountable to the electorate, would have control. The organization tracks other ‘bad bills’ that will impact your neighborhood. Find them here.
