There is a bill in the state Senate that has received very little notice. Senate Bill 3202 will basically allow housing projects on nearly all residential lots with very few zoning limits.
There are no affordability provisions, which could drive up the price of single-family homes. Speculators and investors could take an average lot and build multiple units on it, reaping a windfall while local families are once again left out.
While the city is trying to do the right thing by preventing monster houses, state politicians are trying to do the opposite.
