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

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!
