                                                      I'm guessing that's @rgboehm, although it doesn't look like that account has been kept up-to-date?

                                                  This bill would just apply to SB2 towns, and I live in a city, so... well, I'll defer to my colleagues who live in towns for what to think of HB1070

                        .@joshyokela has another bill for us: HB1098, limiting parking requirements. Kinda similar to my #YIGBY bill (HB1219), except for housing in general

                      ok sounds like Rep. Yokela doesn't see any conflict with my #YIGBY bill; good!

                    there's an amendment to HB1098 that just inserts the word "off-street" to clarify the type of parking spaces it's talking about, btw

                To clarify why there is overlap between me and libertarians on this issue, despite me generally opposing libertarians: I believe governments should require good things of people, and should not require bad things of people. Parking requirements are bad.

          We're running a bit behind; this was supposed to be the time slot for my bill, but instead we're on HB1155, on local board membership. Rep. Torosian is introducing it to us.

                    Why is this taking so long? HB1155 basically only changes a single line; it's pretty simple

                                next is HB1617, which Rep. Adjutant wants to withdraw due to it not being drafted to fit his intentions, so we don't need to spend much time on it.
