What's the German word for when all of the republican candidate lawn signs are on the most derelict properties in town?

The silly thing about inclusionary zoning is that on its face, zoning regulations and conditions of approval need to pass the Nollan/Dolan test meaning that the conditions need to have a rational nexus to the application and be roughly proportional.

Almost all testimony opposed to SB-151 is because of "mandates being imposed on municipalities" and not based on whether or not it will create more starter homes...which is the purpose of the bill...

When people say that everything is unaffordable, I largely assume that they’re talking about housing because it is inelastic. People can buy less eggs, drive less, or change many other habits to cut down costs, but they can’t make their mortgage or rent any cheaper. Tariffs will make it worse.

A town devoting this much effort to attracting a self-storage facility is absurd, especially under the guise of “economic development.” Even more so when they’ve put a moratorium on apartments whose residents are the most likely to need one.

Very excited for the future of Wall Street in Norwalk - highlighted properties could soon be the home to about 450 dwellings, 200 hotel rooms, office and retail. All replacing parking lots and vacant buildings.
