It's such a simple solution. The state spends billions of dollars maintaining train stations where multi-family housing is illegal across the street. WTF?

1. Prohibit single-family home zoning state-wide. In an aging state like Connecticut, many children would live with their family if a reasonable additional dwelling unit could be constructed on the site. There are issues with areas not served by public water and sewer. Reasonable requirements for municipalities to provide this service should be made. Many "inexpensive" towns lack these basic public works in most land area, i.e. Shelton.

2. Mandate multi-family home zoning at a minimum of a 6.0 FAR within 1/2 mile of any heavy rail transit station in the state with a typical density of 750 SF per dwelling unit. No height limit below 10 stories.

3. Mandate similar within 1/2 to 1-mile at a 3 FAR. No height limit below 5 stories.

4. Allow, but not require, affordable housing bonuses up to 1/3 of the allowable as-of-right FAR, perhaps scaled.
