It’s a core property rights issue. If you want to control the use of neighboring land, then you can buy it. Otherwise, step aside and let people build our way out of the housing crisis! 👏👏 #txlege #zoningreform

"We aren’t Tacoma. We aren’t Amherst. We aren’t Portland, Maine... And so all this so-called “evidence” about how policies have worked in other towns simply does not apply to us. No evidence applies to us. Our town exists in a fog of mystery and enigmatic strangeness..."
