Post subject: Re: Housing law may get a new look
This article is good news. However lets also be aware the affordable housing advocates still have towns such as Cranbury in their sites...
"Adam Gordon, staff attorney for the Fair Share Housing Center of Cherry Hill, couldn't say if the bill would face opposition. However, he said, the state needs to provide affordable housing near job growth and not limit it to areas near transit."
Organizations such as the fair share housing center are the keepers of the myth that suburban towns like ours are the epicenter of job growth in NJ.
In fact based on job losses in NJ over the last two years we are most likely looking at negative job growth in our region.
In order to continue our fight against the unfair affordable housing rules and regulations we need to continue to not only work with but pressure our elected officials as the state level to support us; Greenstein, DeAngelo and Baroni.

Good direction on COAH, with a new Governor, hopefully there is bi-partisan support to fix the mess
Housing law may get a new look

STAFF WRITER
A state lawmaker plans to propose changes next year to an unpopular system that requires towns to accommodate a set number of affordable housing units in their planning.
Sen. Ray Lesniak, D-Union, told a crowd of public officials at the Annual League of Municipalities Conference on Thursday in Atlantic City that he is preparing a bill that would replace the current system.
He said he plans to have the bill ready to be considered when the new legislative session starts in January.
Given Lesniak's stature in the Legislature — and the rhetoric against the current system during Republican Governor-elect Chris Christie's campaign — the measure could gain traction, said Seton Hall University political scientist Joseph Marbach.
"It could be the beginning of some kind of bipartisan approach to the problem," Marbach said.
