• Single Family housing will be able to include middle housing
• Mix-use may include 30% more housing units than are currently allowed
• Prevent local legislative body from prohibiting housing being built due to overcrowded schools

It sound like they will bring back the portable modular classrooms.
ReplyDeleteBring back??? They are still in use. No change. Some schools have 25.
DeleteMust be the ones that you'll need an umbrella and raincoat.
DeleteMore overcrowding merely promotes more bullying and intimidation.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how much this "affordable" housing will cost! Sounds like these bills are great for developers; for the rest of us, not so much.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to Montgomery Construction(MoCo)!
DeleteIf a proposed bill does not make any sense it shall pass hands down.
ReplyDeleteThey have a knack for going after the low-hanging fruits.
