Great explanation of why it can be so hard to build new housing in our cities. This The New York Times summary focuses on the process in New York City, but the same challenges exist in Boston and other large cities. #ZoningReform #AffordableHousing #Housing nytimes.com/2024/11/14/nyr…

Today’s The Boston Globe Boston Globe Opinion describing the shameful misuse of public resources to block much needed new housing in towns across the Commonwealth. We must do better if we are ever going to solve the housing crisis! bostonglobe.com/2024/11/25/opi…

Great series from The New York Times on solving that city's housing shortage. Almost all of these ideas would be applicable here in Massachusetts & can make a real difference in providing much needed new #housing! #AffordableHousing #zoningreform #cre #Development nytimes.com/2024/11/26/nyr…

Incredible & very encouraging to see in Lexington! Would be great if more MA cities & towns embraced smart growth rezoning to create the new housing we need for individuals & families across the Commonwealth! #AffordableHousing #MBTAcommunities bostonglobe.com/2024/12/03/bus…

The MBTA Communities Law is already a success — 116 communities on board and 3,000 units in the pipeline. Thanks to AG Campbell her stellar team for standing up for homes for teachers, nurses, first responders, seniors, service workers — people who make our communities strong.

Great take from The Boston Globe on SJC decision upholding MBTA Communities Act; & just as importantly affirming that the AG Andrea Joy Campbell can enforce the law directly.

Exciting news out of Cambridge! Great job by Burhan Azeem, Cambridge City Councillor, @cllrsiddiqui, & the entire Cambridge City Council!

Great take on how restrictive zoning & our anti-democratic land use review processes have severely limited socioeconomic mobility in this country. We must build more reasonably priced housing now! Yoni Appelbaum #ZoningReformNow #AffordableHousing bostonglobe.com/2025/04/14/opi…

If the 3 towns governing Devens can't quickly approve more housing then the legislature must take action. We desperately needs more housing. Using the land & existing structures at Devens is an opportunity for new homes that we cannot afford to ignore. bostonglobe.com/2025/05/22/opi…

“We are pleased the courts have again affirmed the intent of the MBTA Communities Law, and we look forward to working with the remaining communities to complete their zoning changes.” commonwealthbeacon.org/courts/superio…
