Jane Aitken - Bedford, NH 2/3/23 Letter regarding the "Special Committee on Housing"

Dear Reps Osborne, Sweeney, Alexander and Yokela,

Rep Osborne said: "I express my confidence in Deputy Majority Floor Leader Joe Alexander and the Special Committee on Housing. I fully expect that we will work together with our colleagues in the other party to find reasonable and realistic solutions to our State's housing crisis."

Did you know the Bolsheviks did the same thing and what the result was? Did you know that single-family zoning and local control is UNDER ATTACK? Did you know that certain businesses are being given our tax dollars and special tax breaks to help them make more profits? Did you know that stealing from some to pay for others is socialism? How is this GOOD REPUBLICAN POLICY???

You went on to say: "That being said, I was extremely concerned to hear a colleague on the other side of the aisle calling for the workers of the world to unite against our housing providers."

In this case they are correct. These developer cronies are not "providers" giving us anything for free, but stealing from the taxpayers. I suspect those who let them are likely getting big donations from the lobbies and housing organizations as a reward. Correct me if this is the wrong impression. But I do know that NO ONE IS SUBSIDIZING MY BUSINESS.

If the government is involved in expanding housing IT IS COMMUNISM no matter how you look at it. It is not their purview to pick and choose businesses to give handouts to in order to increase their profits or to dictate what kind or how much housing a town should allow. Bad enough they run healthcare?

You went on to say: "Furthermore, I applaud Deputy Majority Whip Aidan Ankarberg's work on HB110, prohibiting the use of state funds for new passenger rail projects. Granite Staters should not be forced to open their wallets to pay for massive infrastructure boondoggles that will only benefit certain individuals. I am sure that anyone who has had the displeasure of having to take the MBTA will assure you, it is not worth the time, frustration, or money to turn the Granite State into New Hampshire Station."

Yes we agree. Another boondoggle.

But I have news for you all. "Granite Staters should not be forced to open their wallets to pay for massive infrastructure boondoggles that will only benefit certain individuals".  However, that is exactly what it boils down to and what you are doing with these housing giveaways.

The NH Advantage depends on low taxes, low crime, and more jobs than people to fill them, which is MUCH more desirable than having too many people and not enough jobs....
