Stack 'n' pack workforce housing not always a good fit

To the Editor,
When you first started out in the workforce, (as I did in 1970) did you experience a 'housing crisis'? If so, what did you do about it?
A. Get a roommate and share an apartment
B. Commute to work from another location
C. Stay living with parents a little longer
D. Ask the government to steal from the taxpayers and subsidize a home for you in a community where you could not yet afford to buy..
Unfortunately, D is what is currently happening in New Hampshire thanks to Sununu and some Senators with their schemes to force towns into building stack 'n' pack apartment buildings where they are not wanted or inappropriate. Local zoning is now of no consequence since the state and feds are taking over.
Please ask them to vote to PASS HB 1216, the bill to repeal the Housing Appeals Board. The committee voted ITL, so you would ask the Reps to vote NO on Inexpedient to Legislate (ITL).
Also ask the full House of Reps to kill these bills which passed committee, a NO on Ought to Pass (OTP).
