Apparently even the NH Municipal Association (NHMA) agrees.
Zoning should be left local. As a former Hampton selectman, I remember meeting with the Director of the Association on more than one occasion to discuss state housing mandates and how they were a threat to local sovereignty.
Glad to see that the NHMA still seems to be against the worst housing bills and hope they send people to testify.
Municipal association says cities, towns unfairly blamed for housing problem.
