His impact will be felt for generations. Rest in peace.

The potential of Work Live Ride: ‘These communities stimulate local economies, reduce commuting costs, and foster vibrant areas where people want to live, work, and visit.’ – @AlanCavagnaro, DesegregateCT Deputy Director. Read more:

We are excited to learn about the formation of the End Homelessness Caucus in CT. This initiative is a crucial step toward advancing policies that ensure homes for all. We are looking forward to working together to create real solutions and urge lawmakers to take bold action. 🏘

. @awholelottanner from Sustainable Streets Norwalk provides a key point for discussion. When a legislator asks if our population isn’t growing, why build? He says, "It isn’t growing because we are not building." A valid point of concern for anyone who wants to move to CT. 🏘🚉

Marcus Palumbo highlights the impact of Work Live Ride: "It aims to work with towns to accomplish their needs... I believe [it] is a tangible next step to create better downtowns for all and help solve the housing crisis." 🏘🚉

Strong testimony from Lori Brown of @ctlcv1: "We care very much about affordable housing—this legislation will help center development rather than gobbling up open space across the state. This is about choices and new opportunities." 🏡

A candid and powerful testimony from @seanghio: After nine years before the committee, "the numbers [on housing] have not moved." He also emphasized that "affordable housing is far more popular with the general public than with those who show up." 🙌

@tvilinskis Yes there is no point where a town would be forced to accept zoning they don’t want. In a worst case scenario, they would just vote to opt out and return any funding they had gotten in the pre-planning stage. But we think towns that want this also want the best districts possible

. @JoshMGoldstein from the Norwalk Common Council sees the housing crisis firsthand. He emphasizes in his testimony on Work Live Ride that "the fact that CT has a housing problem is well-known... we need to do more... we need all the tools in the toolbox to attack this problem."

Thanks for the great pro-homes testimony @heyemmibee 🙌

He also seems to think 2BR apartments cost $1200 in Greenwich. It’s closer to $3400 on avg. You need to make $50/hr to afford that
