If you’ve worked hard to afford a suburban house<\/a> with a patch of lawn where your kids can play, you’re under attack.<\/p>\n

The Biden administration<\/a> and Democrats in New York, Connecticut and other states are fighting local zoning laws in order to build high-rise apartment buildings with “affordable” units in tree-lined, single-family neighborhoods. All in the name of equity, meaning everyone can live in a tranquil suburb, whether they’ve earned the money to pay for it or not.<\/p>\n

The Biden administration announced Jan. 19 that it will require all towns across the U.S. to submit “Equity Plans” showing how they will make it possible for low-income people to live there by providing affordable housing, transportation and other resources.<\/p>\n

Towns that don’t meet the cookie-cutter requirement for economic diversity will lose federal funding.<\/p>\n

DEMOCRATS’ SPENDING THREATENS AMERICANS’ HIGH STANDARD OF LIVING<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

No one’s denying there’s a housing shortage. New York Gov. Kathy Hochul<\/a> is pushing some reasonable proposals such as allowing mother-in-law apartments and relaxing environmental restrictions on residential building.<\/p>\n

But Hochul’s biggest proposal, the Housing Compact, is another misguided attack on local control and single-family zoning.<\/p>\n

It will compel each town and village in the New York metro area to increase its housing stock to meet a uniform, state-imposed target and rezone for high-density housing \u2013 apartment buildings \u2013 within a half-mile of every MTA train stop.<\/p>\n

Say goodbye to quaint downtowns lined with two-story buildings and older houses.\u00a0<\/p>\n

If a town fails to meet state targets, the compact will allow developers to build big in defiance of local zoning boards in almost all cases.<\/p>\n

Hochul is seeking legislative approval for her plan by April. Suburban homeowners are battling a powerful alliance of real estate developers in it for the money and social justice warriors determined to end single-family zoning.<\/p>\n

BIDEN LIVES IN ONE WORLD AND THE ONE THE REST OF AMERICA LIVES IN ANOTHER<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Local control will be obliterated. Albany will call the shots<\/a> on what your town looks like, how much traffic there is and ultimately what your home is worth.<\/p>\n

Slate Magazine’s Henry Grabar bashed Hochul’s critics as “a band of recalcitrant, remorseless ne’er-do-wells.” He’s wrong. Their concerns are legitimate. For most people, their home is their biggest asset.<\/p>\n

Opponents of single-family zoning are also playing the race card. ERASE Racism President Laura Harding says she’s fighting for a Long Island “free of structural racism and de facto segregation.” The same phony pretext is being trotted out everywhere.<\/p>\n

Racial discrimination is abhorrent and should be prosecuted. But as a Brookings Institution analysis of the 2020 census shows, race isn’t a barrier to suburban living. Blacks are moving to the suburbs at a faster pace than Whites.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Anybody can be suburban. It just takes money \u2013 especially in Connecticut<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In 2017, developer Arnold Karp purchased a colonial house on tree-lined Weed Street in small, ultra-wealthy New Canaan. There are no commercial or multifamily buildings on the street. He now wants to build a five-story, 102-unit apartment complex with 30% set aside for affordable housing.<\/p>\n

Weed Street is only a 10-minute drive, or a 17-minute local train ride, to Stamford, a midsize city where the quantity of affordable housing (nearly 16%) exceeds state guidelines.<\/p>\n

Ensuring a supply of affordable housing within a region is more reasonable than demanding every town alter its character.<\/p>\n

Local officials explain that New Canaan’s six-person fire department doesn’t even have hoses or trucks to fight a fire in a building as big as Karp’s design.<\/p>\n

Weed Street neighbor Chris DeMuth Jr. warns Karp’s plan “is to cram over 300 people into a lot currently occupied by a single-family home.”<\/p>\n

“If they destroy Weed Street, they could come for your neighborhood next,” says a flier DeMuth circulated to his neighbors.<\/p>\n

In fact, Connecticut’s Senate Democrats announced they’re making housing equity “in every community in the state” a top priority.<\/p>\n

Democrats seem to believe everyone has a right to the same lifestyle, whether they’ve earned enough to pay the tab or not. So why stop with housing equity?\u00a0<\/p>\n

Government could also compel fine restaurants to set aside a certain number of tables for “affordable” dining. All for the sake of \u2013 you got it \u2013 dining equity.<\/p>\n
