To me, this is the most important chart in the study. It compares the sale price of housing in these zones before and after redevelopment. For 2-unit projects, the price of the new homes is 80% higher than the original house. This falls as the number of replacement homes rises.

The veto of HB5002 a 🧵1/ a lot If only we gathered a group of municipal leaders and both sides of the aisle, and advocates and listened to experts . . . Spent six months on the Majority Leader’s Round Table learning how best to move forward in the 2nd most constrained housing market in the country.

The governor of Connecticut, Ned Lamont, just vetoed a pro-housing bill and endorsed Andrew Cuomo. He needs to be primaried ASAP. What a pathetic joke. also, just further evidence that Cuomo is the NIMBY candidate

Gov. Lamont says he will *veto* HB 5002, the broad housing bill proponents say would boost affordable housing in the state.
He says he hopes to see an amended version in a special session this fall.

Flashback:
In 2021, Lamont issued a joint statement with northeastern governors saying, "We are appalled at the findings of the independent investigation by the New York Attorney General. Governor Cuomo should resign from office."

Parking Reform Network @parkingreform.org · 09/05/2025
The world’s first no-parking sign came with a death penalty. Today? A $35 ticket. Progress? 😅
Screenshot of a page in L. Sprague de Camp's 1974 book "The ancient engineers" describing the regulations surrounding ancient Assyrian paved processional roads. Text reads: "Sennacherib, the Assyrian engineer-king set up the the first no-parking signs. He placed posts along the processional way in Nineveh,  inscribed ‘ROYAL ROAD. LET NO MAN LESSEN IT.’ Not yet satisfied, Sennacherib decreed that any scoundrel who parked a chariot or other vehicle along this boulevard should be slain and his body impaled on a stake before his house. Perhaps such measures would be helpful in coping with modern parking problems".

This article really highlights the absolute insanity of housing in Connecticut. What type of actions is Karp taking that are so “controversial”? Well you see he buys land in places where people want to live and then attempts to build homes there. What a concept! www.ctinsider.com/news/article...
