The bill would also block limits on how many people who are not part of the same family can live in one unit, remove growth caps for cities and towns and cut state regulations on things like manufactured homes.

Welcome to Mexico City.

I have a much better housing proposal: Deport the illegals.

Saved me the time. That’s all this is: import more Mexicans to vote for pasty faced queers like Jared.

affordable housing and workforce housing

"Workforce housing" that's a new one to me.

“The bill classifies towns such as Aspen, Steamboat Springs and Vail as rural resort job centers. Those communities would be required to allow for accessory dwelling units, and develop regional housing plans that include zoning for duplexes, triplexes and multiplexes. They would also be required to work with surrounding communities to improve public transportation.”

The Aspen area already has good communter bus services all the way between from many miles north and west of Aspen along I-70 and free bus services all around the Aspen area.

WA is doing the same thing, HB 1110.

Intuitively you’d think that opening more land up for development would lower costs but that has been shown not to be the case if it is done by increasing density.

Your neighbor sells to a developer who plops a 6-plex on the lot, now your property taxes double because the “best use” of your land is now multi-family.

I am guessing the cost of getting permits for all this new construction is not going to be adjusted to make that process more affordable.

As a residential redeveloper here in Colorado, I’d love to build their fantasy low income housing, but the land buy needs to be 1/4 of the value or less of the projected after build value. With tight city/county legacy zoning restrictions (2 units on 1/8 acre), supply costs, and slow timeliness that cost holding interest payments, that won’t ever happen. However, easing up on ADU restrictions might make some ambitious home owners wealthy, over the long run, should they build a nice little tiny rental. Of course, after that’s done, the blue pigs will bring in tenant and rent rate restrictions.

I like your proposal.
In Portland and much of the surrounding area the vampires at the government require $50,000 to $100,000 before the first shovel of dirt is moved. Then the “houses” look like two-story manufactured chicken housing. I just drove through Colorado last week (I-70) and it seems to me that there is plenty of land available so that people don’t need to have living rooms that share windows with their neighbor’s bedrooms. I don’t think even the antelopes would be inconvenienced.

Just wait until those who have extra rooms are commanded to take in the homeless....AND pay to feed and clothe them.

Probably the model planned for the entire new ghettoized and mexicanized America. Soon enough India style hostel living will be introduced as well.

“The bill would also block limits on how many people who are not part of the same family can live in one unit, remove growth caps for cities and towns and cut state regulations on things like manufactured homes.”

Welcome to new slums. I can tell you one definite result of this more group housing for rehab centers or even parolees. It also means a major loss of green space such as parks.

I have my doubts about the current drumbeat of how increased urbanization improves the quality of life for residents. That I view as part of climate crisis propaganda.

When the Democrats say “Workforce housing” what they mean is future slums.

Every time.

That is what has happened here in NH with the “work force housing bill”. Land that is available to build a subdivision on has gone up in price. This is because a piece of property that in the past you could put 20 single family houses on you can now put 60 or more duplexs on.

This is happening about a mile south of my house. They have approved a subdivision with 60 two and three bedroom duplexs. So, that will be another 120 autos on my road every day. Not to mention the amount of kids in the schools.

Question: Does this pre-empt HOA covenants?

Normally I think HOAs are evil but their sole saving grace could be keeping the government at bay with their schemes to carve up peoples backyards.

Workforce housing: places for Honduran dishwashers, landscape laborers, and criminals to flop for the night.

Here is what we have observed in Seattle suburbs.

The demographic consultant for the school district estimated 1 family with school age kids per 40 units of barracks-style housing they have built for Microsoft minions. The actual number turned out to be 1 in 120 and they are having to close a couple elementary schools.

Sounds like the housing plan that got Ceausescu eventually killed and the communists thrown out of Romania.
