Democrats in state senate and house from rural or suburban areas know they will face serious backlash if they support this liberal, socialist, progressive wet dream of busting the suburbs. LI and parts of upstate in particular issued a wake-up alarm in 2023 by either electing GOP over democrats and or making for tight races.
It isn't a minority versus white thing either; people who live or moved out to rural or suburb areas do or did so for reasons. One of them was and is to get away from over crowding and rest of BS that comes from urban/high density living. They don't want that BS brought to their doorsteps either.

I'm sure the liberal idiots will turn it into a racial thing.

They already have; just read anything about these so called housing schemes and it doesn't take long before "black, brown, minority" persons are mentioned. This from liberal, socialist, progressive democrats who are cooking up these ideas.
Oregon, Washington State, Minnesota, Conn (whole "DeSegretate CT movement) and rest clearly have one agenda and it ain't just about "affordable" housing either.
Progressive, liberal, socialist democrats have to couch things a certain way to avoid what happened back in day.
Last time they tried to bust suburbs it lead to white flight out of areas once they tipped or whatever. White middle income or above residents fled in droves. Areas when from stable middle to upper class areas to busted hoods within a decade or so.

It's a bit ironic to call multifamily housing a "liberal socialist progressive communist *insert Fox News buzzword here*" wet dream when there are tons of capitalistic developers and businesses chomping at the bit to put up multifamily housing with government regulations being the only thing standing in their way.
You want a truly free market take a look at cities in Texas where are there no zoning regulations whatsoever.

That is exactly the problem, developers need to be watched and that is why we have zoning in the first place. Otherwise, developers would literally turn any community they could get their hands on to something like the South Bronx, an area filled with wall to wall apartment buildings and a prime example of what developers would do to an area before we had stronger zoning laws.
That is why people pay for, literally save for years or work 2 jobs to get a nice house in a quiet suburban neighborhood, or even a better neighborhood in the city. Not all of us want to live in crowded high density areas and if the state insists on it, then they are going to be see more and more of their middle class residents leave for greener pastures.
Im not worried. This would not fly here. She can yap all she wants to.
