	"description": "I stand in opposition to North Carolina Senate Bill 205 (formerly North Carolina House Bill 765). If passed, this sweeping legislation would strip municipalities of critical land-use authority, allowing for development that prioritizes speed and sprawl over local input, environmental sustainability, and long-term public health. After bipartisan backlash, HB 765 stalled in the House of Representatives, but its most damaging provisions were rolled into North Carolina Senate Bill 205, a piece of legislation that used to be about swimming pools. Despite its framing as an affordable housing measure, Senate Bill 205 is radical legislation that undermines local planning and public engagement processes. It removes key tools that communities use to manage growth and protect quality of life. While some developers work in good faith with communities, SB 205 caters to those who ignore local priorities—those willing to trade long-term livability for short-term profit. This bill isn’t about affordable housing—it’s about developer convenience. It removes communities&#x27; ability to guide growth in ways that preserve tree canopy, manage stormwater, reduce heat, and enhance livability. Progress is possible only when municipalities have the authority to plan, negotiate, and enforce zoning that prioritizes green infrastructure and public wellbeing. Call your senator and tell them to vote NO on Senate Bill 205!",
