The Connecticut legislature will meet in special session this week to revive a controversial affordable housing bill vetoed by Governor Ned Lamont in June. The new version would let state bureaucrats—not lawmakers—set housing quotas for towns, requiring them to build their “fair share” of low-cost units by 2029. Critics say the plan will force rural towns to add hundreds of units each, costing up to $500,000 per home, and could permanently reshape small communities across the state.
