Post subject: Re: N.J. Assembly consider affordable housing reform bill
As has always been the case, this has little to do with affordable housing and everything to do with developers finding ways to get the legislature to force townships to let them continue to over develop the state. It serves no one except the pocketbooks of the developers and the politicians who are funded by the developers.
Of course, who knows who they expect to live in these new developments since their is no more commuter capacity in the state and now won't be anytime in the foreseeable future. The traisn are already full and now that Christie has killeed tunnel exnasion they will stay that way...

This is not good and will likely be the final bill accepted.
Municipalities would also have to zone 20 percent of its vacant, developable land for higher density, "workforce housing". This is a huge concern for us. Unfortunately, Cranbury is a highly desirable town and as our recent developments and cost of them has shown. As a result, a developer will see Cranbury as a prime target for non-compliance. So we're going to be stuck or be risking a large problem on our hands.

Post subject: N.J. Assembly consider affordable housing reform bill
The assembly version (see below) vs the senate version looks to be very bad for Cranbury. We need to let our representatives in the Assembly know how this will hurt Cranbury.
TRENTON — The state Assembly today introduced its long-awaited version of a bill to abolish the Council on Affordable Housing and revamp affordable housing rules in New Jersey.
