My community is circling the toilet bowl without help from Biden. I grew up here, when I was young, this was a solidly Republican/conservative city. Today, it’s hardcore Democrat/progressive and getting more loony each day.
Yep. Just attended a landlord meeting that included SJW orgs. Zoning is being attacked by those who wish to build “affordable housing” (TM) tenements in single family housing zoned areas. We were lectured by the various orgs on racism (roll eyes) as they bemoaned the (artificially created by the gov’t) “housing crisis.”
Ummm NY (downstate) super majority demonrats won’t be happy until rent is CANCELLED per our local representatives that attended this forum. ERAP was a complete scam, the eviction moratorium will no doubt continue past the 1/15/22 deadline here ad infinitum.
And they wonder why landlords are selling en masse and why there are no rentals anymore.
In our community we have the county commissioners all living in the county’s biggest town, which is a college town. We’re one of two blue counties in the state. The county and city commissions agree that we need more “affordable” housing and deplore the fact that real estate costs are going up. They’ve recently passed zoning which forbids development around the city limits unless it’s dense. I’m not sure of the whole thing but makes me glad we live in the country outside their evil plans.

There, fixed it
“Affordable housing mandates are a land grab, money grab, and vote grab by politicians and their friends.”
Vote grab I get. Land grab I assume means it’s owned by the fed. And the money grab is money to the developer from the fed? Therefore more money in their campaign chests?
This is the cornerstone of the left’s decarceration movement.
The Atlanta suburbs are turning into toilet bowls. Like many others we are fleeing to the mountains.
I’ve fought this fight for over five years in a heavily Democratic town.
Sorry Mayor...but they deserve it. They voted this in.
I live in California and zoning laws have been usurped by governor Newsom. It is now legal to build up to four homes on lots previously zoned for single family houses. I’ve never seen so many for sale signs in my neighborhood in 30 years.
There is some similar zoning not far from me - what the developers are doing is building TWO mansions that almost abut one another - and then selling each one for close to a million dollars. One small lot in this area has two new, small homes on it that were sold as a pair for $1 million - so I doubt any of this legislation is going to help “affordable housing.”
Don’t need rezoning to turn single-family houses into apartment buildings. Certain groups of people have no issue living 10-20 to a house.
As Trump predicted, loudly.
