As #FairHousingMonth comes to an end, the Partnership is proud to be among the other orgs signed on to this letter urging the Biden Administration to release the U.S. HUD’s final “Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing” (AFFH) rule. bit.ly/3QfAve0
"Lamont cited the cost of housing as the state’s biggest continuing challenge" Yet, the administration has proposed nothing that would alleviate the housing shortage and affordability crisis. At a minimum, adequately fund the rental assistance program. nhregister.com/business/artic…
“Dozens of long-time residents were notified their leases were not being renewed. Tenants said the company sent them a letter saying they had 30 days to move out or face eviction.” “People from 8 to 80, everyone is affected,” said Gregory Edwards. fox61.com/article/news/l…
Town whose name is synonymous with wealth wants us to believe it can't afford sidewalks in the future so it can prevent housing from being built

Ferguson: Connecticut's Lack Of Affordable Housing Is Driving The Youth Crisis. We need more homes in more places and more rental assistance funding among a lot of other policies. We know how to tackle the problem. We as a state just don't have the will. ctnewsjunkie.com/2024/04/30/fer…
Still waiting here in CT
Yesterday, 11 residents filed a suit to try to stop Rockport from complying with MBTA Communities. Last night, the majority of 600 Rockport residents at Town Meeting voted to approve MBTA Communities zoning. A selfish few continue to try & hold our region back, harming us all.
The major rationale for the rejection is that the road lacks sidewalks and is too small for residents to safely walk. And it is really, really telling that during this year-long saga the commissioners leading the opposition—Harrison, Braun—haven’t proposed making the road safer.

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 🧵/
CT housing exclusionists, here's your bed fellows.
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.

The problem: There aren't enough homes in the U.S. to meet needs. The culprit: Restrictive zoning. The result: Growing home and rent prices, rising homelessness, and ongoing racial segregation. It doesn't have to be that way, our @AlexHrwtz notes. pew.org/3TejhQ2

I'm going to try using the term NIMBY less often. It's imprecise. Sometimes I mean segregationist when I write NIMBY, sometimes I mean classist, and sometimes I mean exclusionist because some people just want to keep everyone out. Sometimes I should use all three at the same time
Can someone explain to me what this means? I'm not meant to garden because I think people should have access to affordable homes? Is this one of those weird fringe fever dream things?

Left out: Connecticut
Political ground on housing has fundamentally shifted in the last five years, and some of the biggest changes have been at the state-level. I wrote about how to think about these new bills and new laws vox.com/policy/2413626…
When we don't have enough homes to house would-be workers, we lose out on their potential contribution to our economy. It's simple math. #WorkLiveRide would put us on a path towards real growth. ctpublic.org/news/2024-04-2…
“Connecticut currently protects a small number of tenants from this kind of forced displacement through our current just cause law, but most of us are vulnerable to this kind of sudden uprooting of our lives and being pushed out of our neighborhoods through no fault evictions.”
Textbook urban-planning-gone-bad is authority a) seeing people/lawful actions they don't like, b) passing new rules to make those actions illegal, c) selective enforcement against low power people. The silence of ACSP member school depts as this is done against students is gross.
Town whose name is synonymous with wealth wants us to believe it can't afford sidewalks in the future so it can prevent housing from being built
The major rationale for the rejection is that the road lacks sidewalks and is too small for residents to safely walk. And it is really, really telling that during this year-long saga the commissioners leading the opposition—Harrison, Braun—haven’t proposed making the road safer.
@seanghio a lot of real winners in your replies. I guess you must have stirred them up. That name and avatar are just the cherry in top.
@seanghio Also black men are genetically predisposed to aggressive, anti social behavior, and commit more crime. While I understand people are individuals, and have experienced more than pleasant interactions with blacks, we cannot ignore statistical averages in social-political contexts.
Great event hosted by @CTHousingOpp in Fairfield making the economic case for more building more homes in CT. Appreciated the boost for #WorkLiveRide too! ctpublic.org/news/2024-04-2…
Yesterday, 11 residents filed a suit to try to stop Rockport from complying with MBTA Communities. Last night, the majority of 600 Rockport residents at Town Meeting voted to approve MBTA Communities zoning. A selfish few continue to try & hold our region back, harming us all.
@KRDemCT @trumbullbrod @seanghio @ct_urbanists @Urban_Dispatch @CTMirror That’s very kind, but my first and last thoughts every day aren’t about the Merritt Parkway, so I’m not sure I’d be qualified
I thought Gen X was going to be different but instead we're the most f'ing reactionary of all, it's so depressing.
I’ve repressed so much from this awful administration and sometimes when I’m reminded it floors me.
"You shouldn't be hearing about testing, but that's the last thing [the media] can complain about I guess ... I don't know that all that [testing] is even necessary" -- Trump downplays importance of testing, which he suggests is a luxury (experts say more testing is necessary)
One of the things we should do in the week remaining in the legislative session is to fund the nonprofits that support so much of Connecticut's safety net.
As Mississippi celebrates Confederate Memorial Day, I’m proud to live in a state where I can go visit the 29th CT colored regiment’s memorial in New Haven. Of the 2206 black men age 15-50 living here in 1860, an astounding 78% signed up to serve the Union.
@seanghio @ct_urbanists @Urban_Dispatch @CTMirror Seconded.
"... increasing funding for RAP would quickly stabilize the lives of many more CT residents. No one should be living in a tent in CT. Housing is a human right, & our policies must support that value." @CCEHtweet & The Partnership on expanding #RAP. bit.ly/3Wlheff

Why the fuck is @JournalInquirer giving these people free publicity. "There goes the neighborhood, if you what what I'm saying" Go ahead Sean, tell us what you really mean! Stop speaking in innuendos...
I understand the argument against spotlighting these kinds of arguments, but at the same time, it's worth paying attention when people just come right out and say it. ctinsider.com/journalinquire… via @insider_ct
