The cause does not yet have a champion in the legislature, but I’m convinced that CONNECTICUT is actually the state where a bold statewide zoning preemption law would do the most good.
For starters, the municipal landscape in Connecticut is hopelessly fragmented — local action is never going to accomplish anything.
But Connecticut also had a weird pre-pandemic combination of expensive housing + super-slow economic growth that was stressing the budget.

Generating more housebuilding through zoning reform would advance various social justice goals.
But in the Connecticut context it’s also a low-pain alternative to higher taxes or pension cuts — IF you do it on a statewide basis so the change is spread out spatially.
