who knew.
@anikasinghlemar Gold Coast towns kept sewers out to keep low-income housing out, and were quite explicit about it. I write about this in my book Free the Beaches.
@anikasinghlemar Ahhh... the subtleties of strategically planned housing discrimination.
"A number of communities have sewer avoidance policies. That’s basically kind of a secret way to foil any kind of significant progress in housing development.” ctexaminer.com/2024/04/23/bil…

@hughsbailey @insider_ct Maybe they bike to work but those bikes would have to have been made by a polluter who made a profit and, well, we certainly can't have that.
@hughsbailey @insider_ct It would be tremendously helpful if environmental advocates such as @SavetheSound would proactively step up and counter "local opponents loudly and vaguely citing environmental harms."
@anikasinghlemar @insider_ct This in particular is a bad look. We're talking about homes
‘the protests are robbing my Columbia students of listening to John Cage’s 4’33, the piece of music that is explicitly designed to force you to listen to…what’s around you.’ absolutely perfect
Love this. nj.com/opinion/2024/0…
"You can't build near a school, because residents of a new apartment complex would be able to see that school" is an actual argument advanced against housing construction. courant.com/2024/04/21/aft…
Professor @anikasinghlemar joins @wnpr to discuss Connecticut’s affordable housing crisis. ctpublic.org/show/the-wheel…
"We are on the verge of doing nothing to create more affordable housing for the second year in a row, again, in the middle of a housing crisis. This is unfathomable." ctmirror.org/2024/04/18/ct-…
Also the single most overused word in Connecticut housing journalism is "controversial."
Also the single most overused word in Connecticut housing journalism is "controversial."
This is absurd logic. If I said, "well, some neighborhoods don't want the fire hydrants, and we don't want to dictate," you'd correctly call me an idiot. We are in a housing crisis, and we're letting a vocal minority of homeowners scuttle any effort to fix that.

"Republicans, for their part, don't usually need to do much heavy lifting to kill controversial housing bills as Democrats from rich towns do it for them."

Here in Connecticut we have Democrats advocating for -- taking the lead on -- "pausing" enforcement of school desegregation laws.

@smmarotta I have not read the brief you mention, but are you suggesting that small firms can’t produce quality briefs? That is a completely incorrect assumption.
Last week, I stated that I could no longer utilize the important work @ADL once did regarding monitoring antisemitism and would rely on the FBI numbers, though not ideal. They reached out and I was honest that I thought their CEO @JGreenblattADL was no longer able to define it…
@smmarotta Gosh, what a thing to (a) think and (b) actually post in a public forum.
We carry way too much water for NIMBYs by backfilling some kind of meaningful argument onto their dartboard of objections. In response to the approval of 50 apartments in Trumbull center, this resident thinks they’ll bring “more crime.” Gloves off, apparently. Quick 🧵/
Let's talk more about Darien Commons and how is is the opposite of Transit-oriented development done right. Darien’s Norton Heights station sees ~63 trains per day, to Grand Central, Stamford, New Haven, and all points in between yet is surrounded by single family homes.

@hughsbailey @CTMirror I assume editors review columns, but correct me if I'm wrong. Seems like a word like that should at least have some context on why it was chosen.
Why has the Gaza war spun colleges into chaos? Because campuses have weakened as actual communities, where people mingle, interact and get to know and trust each other. My latest column: cnn.com/2024/04/26/opi…
Shocked to see Margarita Alban, Chairwoman of Greenwich's PZC participating in an event with a group that only spreads lies and attacks about CT's housing crisis, housing policies, and advocacy organizations.
I was just the victim of a BRUTAL assault on the Yale campus. A 10-year-old kid on a bike came up to me and asked why my hair was white, because "you look like you're 20 years old."
@CTRailCommuters @PeteHarrison860 @CTMirror It's clear where CT Rail Commuters sits in this crisis. I'm not interested in engaging with those that want to preserve our exclusionary systems. I'm going to garden.
@PeteHarrison860 @CTRailCommuters @CTMirror Every proposed development exists in its context, not as an island. Town centers were an amazing innovation for civilization. Somehow most so-called planning can't conceive of future development at that scale. It's going to take a long time to cure us of sprawl mind.
@PeteHarrison860 @CTRailCommuters @CTMirror Luckily civilization has created this thing called The Town so that every project doesn't have to accommodate every needed use.
I am not moved by an argument that prioritizes the future fiscal stability of a largely affluent state over the immediate, basic needs of that state's most impoverished children.
@RSGAT We do not have a surplus. The taxpayers are on the hook to repay debt and fund pensions to the tune of$80 billion and that doesn't count UConn's debt. At the current rate our children and grandchildren will be responsible to repay because we couldn't act like adults
@CTMirror I must be a particularly dense version of the "housing zealot" the author targets, because I'm not getting this column. Describe a perfectly adequate development built near the train station in an exceedingly wealthy suburb. Ok? Our housing shortage requires many more solutions.
imagine having these thoughts and then actually sharing them
His first week in office he extended federal housing authority protections to cover sexual orientation and gender identity discrimination, and here's something from literally today. But okay
Really hard to sell voting for Biden when his administration keeps putting out chickenshit rules on healthcare and education that do nothing to help LGBTQ people other than recognition. They materially do nothing to change the situation we're in.
Of all the things I was lucky enough to work on, this might be my favorite. You shouldn’t have to pay money to pay your taxes. As this program continues to grow, most people will get pre-populated forms and be able to file their taxes with a few clicks in a few minutes.
The IRS says 140,803 people successfully filed their taxes with the agency's free direct file pilot program – exceeding their goal of 100,000.
