SIENNA RODRIGUEZ: Hello Islanders. The Islands Trust’s own plan says old zoning was “almost exclusively” single-family. This is a private Abolish the Islands Trust campaign broadcast, not independent journalism.

ZARA KIM: The action plan says the old zoning left few choices for people who cannot buy a home. It names older people, families and workers among those who need other choices.

SIENNA RODRIGUEZ: House prices matter. So do building costs, pipes and power, ferries, jobs, and decisions by higher governments. All of it shapes who can make a life on an island.

ZARA KIM: We are not saying the Trust hates families or caused every change in who lives here. It cannot fix prices on its own. The same plan also shows the Trust is trying to change the pattern it describes.

SIENNA RODRIGUEZ: Count the homes that get built, and count what kinds. Then make the local planning body answer for what the count shows. Read the exact demand, add your name, and confirm your email. Abolish Islands Trust Dot Org.
