CT has already done this with a state law that says any developer including a few deeded, and so long-term, “affordable” units can build without the local town being able to impose any of its zoning limits.
They are essentially forcing the towns on the ocean to become mini-NYCs. Truly horrific and un-American.
The little secret about CT’s rural areas is that they have no town water or sewer systems—and the state will never be able to afford to build them on any scale.
The battle is won or lost on infrastructure—no new infrastructure means no new multifamily housing.
