Hello Stephen! I've been following the BI story for a few years now and appreciate your take on things. There was an interesting article in the NYT a few months back on builders remedy being used in California pretty successfully so that possible consequence caught my attention. I'd love to connect.
Bainbridge has long been such a “rich people only” NIMBY area (no offense to the select few who are not such there), I am delighted to see some pressure to expand housing options.
I will be curious how the builders remedy plays out, if it comes to that. My sense is that the state will need to have the political wherewithal to actually tow the line on accountability. I'd also like to see a shift towards eliminating local discretionary review and providing density bonuses for housing projects that contain a certain percentage of affordable units and otherwise align with zoning. Communities in California are seeing a lot more housing being delivered this way after Sen Weiner's bill passed in many NIMBY-heavy towns.
