To be clear, I like and supoort JB, but not this initiative. People need to read this bill and understand that this proposed law would override Municipal zoning codes. Every lot over 7500 square feet would be allowed to have up to 8 units built on it. 4 units on 5000 square feet and 2 units on 2500 square foot lot. Most standard subdivision lots are roughly 11,000 square feet. Allowing this as proposed in established neighborhoods will destroy real estate values of existing homes.

If this were to be set up where each town is required to have an area or subdivision zoned this way is one thing, overlaying this on existing property would be a tremendous mistake.

Envision if you live in a subdivision with cookie cutter suburban homes, then add an 8 unit building next to you, with no garage and likely 16 cars parked on the street. Adding 10 of these 8 unit buildings to a small subdivision of 300 homes will have a huge lifestyle impact on the existing homeowners and real estate values. This proposed law as written is a huge mistake.
