Almost all testimony opposed to SB-151 is because of "mandates being imposed on municipalities" and not based on whether or not it will create more starter homes...which is the purpose of the bill...

The bravado to write an op-ed claiming to know what HB5002 would do and then be completely wrong is astounding. ctmirror.org/2025/09/29/d...

Two recently approved developments coming to downtown Norwalk. Over 90 units of housing, 100,000sf of office, ground floor retail, and waterfront park and boardwalk! www.thehour.com/news/article...

Update! All projects have been approved! Here’s what they’ll look like:

When people say that everything is unaffordable, I largely assume that they’re talking about housing because it is inelastic. People can buy less eggs, drive less, or change many other habits to cut down costs, but they can’t make their mortgage or rent any cheaper. Tariffs will make it worse.

In my completely biased opinion, an excellent successor to @peteharrison860.bsky.social

Despite constant claims that new multifamily development is straining the school system, in Norwalk, one of CT’s fastest growing cities, school enrollment is down over the course of five years.

I found this episode to be particularly interesting and needling in on where separate pro-housing movements can differ (and ultimately find agreement).

Why is it news when less than 1% of a town's population signs an online petition?

“We can have three stories but you can’t.”

A town devoting this much effort to attracting a self-storage facility is absurd, especially under the guise of “economic development.” Even more so when they’ve put a moratorium on apartments whose residents are the most likely to need one.

Luckily some more zoning fixes hopefully on the way including density/height bonuses and setback reductions 🤞

Very excited for the future of Wall Street in Norwalk - highlighted properties could soon be the home to about 450 dwellings, 200 hotel rooms, office and retail. All replacing parking lots and vacant buildings.

“I’m opposed because these apartments will be unaffordable” 🤝 “I’m opposed because these apartments will be too affordable”

Very cool adaptive reuse project that prior to Norwalk’s zoning regulation rewrite would not have been possible to do!
