Based on similar reactions to legislation I have been interested in locally an attempt to spread a successful goal elsewhere often hamstrings the location where it was first implemented by adding extra requirements.
For example, if you want to create a new city park with limited funds, you might want to start with some landscaping and then add in other features like water fountains, picnic tables, trees, and whatnot based on feedback over time when funds become available. But if a county or state law supersedes your local approach by requiring all of those things to be planned for and implemented at the same time it might not be possible to even do the landscaping so it can be used for sports.
I'm not even talking about accessibility features or things like that, just more complicated planning and time restrictions that are aimed at larger communities but implemented universally.
She could be talking about that kind of thing or blowing smoke, hard to tell since people like to use things that could be valid when they aren't.
Are there similar provisions in this bill? I thought it was more about blocking local zoning from stopping development along transit corridors.
The bill has a ton of specific minimums for things like units per acre, max square footage of a dwelling, and a bunch of other stuff. I don't know which things conflict with the local efforts or if she might be pushing back against the idea, but the law does seem to be aimed at some very specific locations and cumbersome for a lot of others.
