🔥 HB 8002: The Bill They Swear Is About Homelessness… But Isn’t If you think HB 8002 is a “homelessness bill,” you’ve already taken the bait. Look closer and the real story isn’t compassion — it’s control. Here’s the truth in one shot: 👉 This bill hands the state the steering wheel of every town’s zoning code. Density, parking, moratoria, approvals — the decisions your neighbors used to make? Now routed through Hartford. 👉 Mandatory high-density zones across 10% of every town. Not a suggestion. Not optional. Required. 👉 Housing quotas set by the state. Your town doesn’t even decide its own targets anymore. 👉 Funding becomes leverage. Schools, sewers, transit dollars — all tied to your town obeying the plan. 👉 A new Housing Council + OPM + DOH gain override authority. Local zoning commissions become spectators. And here’s the kicker: ⚠️ 104 pages… and almost nothing addresses homelessness. Just a trailer pilot and a tiny rental-assistance test program. No new shelters. No supportive housing. No long-term services. So what does HB 8002 actually do? It transforms Connecticut zoning from local rule to state command — with quotas, density mandates, and funding pressure to force compliance. This is a centralized land-use system wrapped in the language of compassion. 💬 Bottom Line: HB 8002 isn’t a homelessness solution. It’s a statewide zoning takeover dressed as reform — and towns lose far more than they gain. If people care about local control, transparency, or honest policymaking, this is the bill they need to read before it reads them.

Great time at the VJ Day Parade in Moosup Ct. Always a good time seeing familiar faces and meeting a few new ones. Side note...After seeing the guy driving the tank in the parade...I now realize the Bowman family needs one. 😁 #ct #grownostr #small-town

Finally started working in the farm stand...or should I call homestead stand. Any who just need a roof and a few finishing touches. Not bad for all upcycled stuff. #grownostr #homestead #self-reliance
