@vsp great to see the perspectives of constituents who do not get the media attention of the vocal "full repeal" lobby. I reckon that lobby represents a minority of CA's positions on zoning, and it isn't a "binary issue".

My CA represents a suburban community built up from the 1980s to early 2000s situated between rapidly developing edge communities and older inner-city suburbs. While the blanket rezoning has not been popular people here also feel the previous zoning had served us very poorly and placed undue strain on our infrastructure as nearby DC land at the edge of the city has been rezoned for medium to high density because densifying the inner city is too bureaucratic and expensive.

So now we have thousands if young families that have to pack our busses, sit in traffic going downtiwn and send their kids to inner city schools because we have no space here and the inner city schools can accommodate.

It would make more sense to encourage more housing inner city but "it would ruin the character!"
