NEW YORK (VINnews) Decent people respect justice, and the ones who make the world a better place, because they protect and defend what is right and just. It used to be back in the day that when a child would complain about an adult being inappropriate, the viewpoint was not to believe a child, and that children live in their own make-believe world. How horrifying that must have been for children who were victimized.

As the Maine Legislature held an eight-hour public hearing today on an affordable housing bill that would amend zoning rules statewide for cities and towns, the Mayor of Auburn, the states fifth-largest city, showed us how his city is already implementing the kinds of changes proposed.Legislators on the Housing and Labor Committee entertained several hours of testimony over the bill sponsored by Maine House Speaker Ryan Fecteau, a Democrat from Biddeford, LD 2003, which would require municipalities to let property owners build up to four units on lots zoned for single-family homes, among other reforms.Zoning laws are by definition exclusionary in nature, Auburn Mayor Jason Levesque, a Republican serving his third term, said in an interview at a construction site. Thats really the fundamental change that has to happen. Were overregulated, were under-housed, and really, weve eliminated the rights of property owners to actually live on the land that they own.Levesque and the city council revised zoning laws that limited property owners to single-family homes or prevented them from adding accessory dwelling units on their land."Nobody's going to force you to do anything in your backyard, then again you have no right to force someone, your neighbor, to not do something in their backyard," Levesque said
