Reply to comment by AdHistorical7107 in Why is Connecticut specifically the coast line so underdeveloped in respect to shopping, housing, and entertainment? by Teslatron2049

Single family housing on large lots is the desirable and economic form of housing, that's why we need to mandate it through zoning laws. /S

Ha.

People want the coast line developed, but then the prices will skyrocket even more and they will cry they can't afford it. Meanwhile, the damage to the environment is done.

But its those damn rich folks! 🤷

The housing market is already so heavily distorted, so who knows what will happen. And for what it's worth, outside of New London; out shoreline communities are out of reach of the median Connecticut family.

The environmental damage is already done too. Just because you've got a couple trees in your backyard doesn't mean you haven't caused environmental damage.

Nope. The environmental damage could be worsened.
