from John Schinnerer:

In this report on community asset building, from an ongoing project to address poverty, quality of life etc. on the island, there are countless comments from participants about problems with zoning and building codes making it impossible for people/families to live affordably, and making it difficult to have or maintain the kinds of communities that may still exist now or existed previously.

See also the other reports, and toolkit for “discovering community power”:

All these people are potential HSCA allies. In basic terms of zoning and building they want significant change ASAP.
