Fury in NJ as state forces affordable housing construction

In a bold and controversial move, New Jersey is forcing its municipalities to build thousands of new affordable housing units — and local leaders are pushing back.
The state’s latest mandate has some municipalities reeling, with mayors warning that the plan is asking too much and threatens to completely change the character of their communities.
Earlier in 2024, the state Department of Community Affairs released its first official list of affordable housing requirements for every municipality. This follows the passage of a new law that forces municipalities to comply with a constitutional obligation dating back decades.

Aahhha, yes, the Pepuls Republik of Nu Jerzee kommissars have issued new diktats and you slaves will obey.
Sorry, but this sounds like it should be coming from North Korea or China; not the USA.
The fourth branch of Gooferment is the bureaucrats in the regulatory state. Hence, the other branches can avoid blame by pointing at the out of control “regulators”.
Argh!
Sorry but does anyone think that these are “good ideas”. The invisible hand of the marketplace provides what the people want. If the politicians and bureaucrats would get out of the way, then we could have “utopia”.
The FED, the FHA – FREDDIE – FANNIE, and countless federal / state regulations make building “affordable housing” impossible. Who in their right mind would get into the rental housing business?
Argh!
