🎉 It's official: Day 1 of statewide parking reform in CT is officially LIVE! As of July 1, certain costly minimum parking mandates no longer apply to multifamily developments with less than 16 homes. This is a massive milestone made possible by passing PA 25-1 last year.

Connecticut received an F for housing affordability for the second year in a row from Realtor.com and still faces a shortage of over 120,000 homes. The result ➡️ higher costs, less options for homebuyers and homerenters, and current residents priced out of their communities.

The very obvious - and frankly, only - solution to this problem is to dramatically grow our state by building - more homes, more water treatment, more green energy, more transit. If we want to make CT dynamic, then make it dynamic! ctmirror.org/2026/06/04/c...

On the one hand, Mr. Modica's Marblehead comments were wonderful as a case of classic YIMBYism—calling out NIMBY bullshit at public hearings. On the other hand, it's symptomatic of a performative "local control" approach to pro-housing reform that we need to move past. My latest on Substack:
open.substack.com
“Are We Kind of Being Pricks?”
Or, why it's time to end performative local control.
