IL Senate Democrats push for new affordable housing plans despite growing opposition – WAND (Decatur)

One of the proposals could legalize a wider range of middle housing types such as duplexes, triplexes and four flats in lots currently zoned for single-family use. Similar legislation could allow faith-based organizations to develop affordable mixed-use and multifamily homes on their property by exempting them from strict zoning requirements. A separate bill would ban housing authorities and private owners of subsidized housing from mandating work requirements or time limits on residents who do not meet work requirements.

Sen. Ram Villivalam says we should “not make them work extra just to have somewhere to sleep at night”. I guess working to pay rent is something only certain people should do – the rest can just relax and not worry about it.

Zoning laws for towns and cities should remain at the town and city level, not the state. Towns and cities care about their community, the state does not. The state is just looking to house illegals and criminals.

It isn’t your house–you live there and pay all the bills but you do so at the grace of the state. You want good schools, to feel safe, and enjoy a community of like-minded individuals? Too bad. Hand over your land! Next step, mandatory ADUs if we think your backyard is too big. You’ll love it.
