Danbury's planning director makes some excellent points, but I think it's important to note how exclusionary zoning stops these conversations from even getting started in most of the state Opinion: Connecticut housing reform does not stop at zoning www.courant.com/2026/02/11/o...

As always, no indication of what these people actually favor. They hate the process for getting homes built. Fine. What do you want? There's agreement that the crisis exists, so what now? And please spare us the "unleash the market" or whatever yankeeinstitute.org/2026/02/10/c...

Small towns love to use sewage capacity as an excuse to do nothing on housing, as if whatever they have at this precise moment is etched in time, never to be changed CT housing needs assessment required under H.B. 8002 underway ctmirror.org/2026/02/09/c...

Just Cause has been debated for years, and yet it's still crazy to see just how callous its opponents sound, in on-the-record comments. That's someone's home you're talking about CT eviction reform to anchor housing debate in 2026 session ctmirror.org/2026/02/02/c...

Why does it feel like the most-covered story in this state is the comings and goings of local TV anchors www.ctpost.com/news/article...

I spent years as an editorial writer and most of that time heard constantly that editorials are an anachronism and a waste of time, and I still think that’s wrong

You have got to be kidding me with this. Rude? To the Trump administration? To Linda McMahon? Laughable Dan Haar: Fairfield's snub of Linda McMahon was a rude setback to liberal education and values www.ctpost.com/connecticut/...

Shocked that anyone thought this was a good idea www.ctpost.com/news/educati...

An endlessly frustrating piece. You know what states gain population? The ones that build housing. Conspicuously missing from the list of blue states losing population? New Jersey, which is growing. Thanks to Fair Share. www.ctpost.com/connecticut/...

The things that can happen when you build housing

About a week ago Matt Ritter sat on a stage with Candelora and buddied around with him to make clear this isn't personal, just politics. I don't think Candelora feels the same way www.msn.com/en-us/news/p...

We've known forever that counting on towns to allow the housing we need was a failure. Our next plan seems to be to count on COGs, which are simply collections of towns, to do the job. How long before we move on from that. www.courant.com/2026/01/16/a...

I know things get confusing with streaming and whatnot but this is one of those things where "turn on your TV" would suffice

... and we try to help them CT's Grand Old Party tries to go viral with mockery of Lamont ctmirror.org/2026/01/05/c...

The bar for something "erupting" is pretty low, I guess www.ctinsider.com/connecticut/...

I love headlines like this, where they don't name the place, ostensibly to get you to click the link. But who else would have a $44B endowment? www.courant.com/2025/12/12/a...

It's good to hear Rudy Marconi say this. And he's right. But if he wants to see diversity in his town's school, there's a city right next door. He could propose a school integration plan that would work a lot faster than the housing law. I don't think he's going to ctnewsjunkie.com/2025/12/09/b...

Quick question for Rep. Tony Scott, R-Monroe. What are you talking about? ctmirror.org/2025/12/08/l...

Hey remember that idea that Erin Stewart might be better on housing because some good things had happened in New Britain? That was funny www.nbcconnecticut.com/news/local/e...

1. No kidding 2. Best of luck on that one Should CT redraw its school district boundaries? It could mean less segregation, fairer funding, a new report says www.ctpost.com/news/educati...

It's legitimately nice to see a story highlight people saying why this is a good idea and should be approved Attorney for 300-unit apartment plan in Newtown says CT law is on his side: ‘I win in court’ www.newstimes.com/news/article...

It's cool to work in the Ganim administration and make vague references to "Bridgeport's reputation" holding the city back. I wonder what that refers to? ctmirror.org/2025/11/03/m...

A lot going on in this story, but I just want to focus on this quote from maybe the most anti-housing Democrat in the state. Four acres is a lot of space. You're trying to make it sound like it's being jammed in to a tiny lot, but it's just not true insideinvestigator.org/denials-and-...

I guess I missed where these guys were focusing their efforts on those five factors. CT 169 all in on cutting lumber costs, apparently.

The thing to understand when people say stuff like this -- new housing will "destroy" Newtown -- is that the town is immense. It's the fifth-largest town by area in the state. Nearly 60 square miles. Most people won't notice anything www.newtownbee.com/10302025/on-...

Was silence not an option? www.wshu.org/connecticut-...

Not really, but thanks for spreading a story that basically makes stuff up ctnewsjunkie.com/2025/10/30/q...

Who cares if they build a gas station, but if people say their town's farm character is threatened by a development on a site that is literally a former car dealership, you're not obligated to believe them www.newstimes.com/news/article...

In case you like reports that detail wild things the governor says about housing that may or may not be true, this story has got it all Report: Much of state-funded affordable housing is rehabbed property ctmirror.org/2025/10/27/c...

The idea that rich New Yorkers would flee to CT in the event of a Mamdani victory is not supported by facts. The thesis of this story is basically: But what if it was the other way? www.ctinsider.com/business/art...

Still not clear whether housing will be taken up in the special session. The governor, you may recall, repeatedly promised housing would be a priority Lamont, lawmakers offer details on new housing bill ctmirror.org/2025/10/23/l...
