Margaret, I want to thank you, publicly, for your unfailing patience and clarity in responding to citizen concerns on this list. When we vote on an issue, whether on a state or a town level, it’s really important that we understand the implications of the language used. This isn’t always easy, and town committees often struggle to get warrant articles just right. Jumping to conclusions, without informed discussion, can derail the most well-intended efforts. With that, I’ll just say I think anything Lincoln can do to alleviate our regional housing crisis is a good thing. I’ve seen what that has done to communities in California, and it’s not pretty. Zoning is an obstacle, but not the total solution.
