❌ SB192
Declare intent to provide funding re: housing in rural counties
Current Status: In Senate Committee (Housing)
Summary
The bill declares the intent of the Ohio General Assembly to provide funding for developing, repairing, or upgrading infrastructure that services housing in rural counties with populations not exceeding 75,000 and where the number of privately owned housing units is below the state average. The funding is specifically aimed at single-family residential dwellings located on parcels no larger than a quarter of an acre and situated in areas zoned exclusively for such dwellings.
Rationale
The bill promotes government funding for housing infrastructure, which conflicts with Libertarian principles of limited government intervention and free markets. It imposes restrictions on property use and zoning, undermining property rights and individual choice.
Risks and Concerns
- Increased government control over housing markets
- Potential for cronyism in funding allocation
- Restrictions on property rights and individual freedoms
