Our family moved across the country from Los Angeles to Wilton in 2019 so that we could have a better quality of life. The principal reasons we chose this area were its quaint town centers, peaceful open spaces and forests, beautiful historic architecture, lack of traffic, and great schools.
But now, unfortunately, we see these wonderful qualities starting to come under pressure. The Democrats have been steadily chipping away at local control of zoning (see 8-30g) and trying hard to take away local control of schools (many proposals in recent years pushing differing levels and modes of regionalization) and, as a consequence, large apartment buildings are starting to go up. This threatens to turn our towns into generic urban sprawl with the traffic and overcrowded school classrooms to match.
Kind regards,
