The debate is continuing not only over the availability and accessibility of affordable housing in New Jersey, but also whether the courts or the Legislature should oversee the issue.
The mandates pushed on NJ towns through the courts and the lack of action on the part of the legislature has created a situation in our state that is untenable.
The fight continues. It's time to call out the incompetent New Jersey legislature for failing to even discuss issues that address the affordability crisis.
The latest fight raging over affordable housing is whether or not municipalities should have to retroactively provide enough homes to cover a 16-year period where the effort has drifted.
With the Legislature about to return to Trenton after the summer slowdown, a top Republican lawmaker who may run for governor is urging an ambitious agenda.
Judges setting towns' affordable housing quotas won't consider a 16-year gap when no rules were in place. That could cut the number of new units needed by half.
