Margo,
If I'm not mistaken the WGBH articles were based on a report that showed
people under 36 dominate the outflow. Main concerns being cost of living,
housing availability, traffic and weather. As someone who will be in that
cohort for another 20 days I can say anecdotally that those concerns
But none of the community center voting options options include the
possibility locating at the mall, right? Nor do I believe there was any
discussion about this beyond "ain't happening".

Sara,
I think many people would want to live in a townhouse in Lincoln. Not
everyone wants a 2 acre compound and the environmental impact that goes
along with it. That also doesn't speak to the fact that those who care for
our children, prepare and supply our food, keep our water and electricity
Thanks Richard,

It is interesting to recently see a number of people on here so supportive
of affordable housing. It is my understanding that the town has had
committees attempting to do so in S. Lincoln for a decade plus.
Unfortunately if we had acted sooner as a town our hands wouldn't be nearly
as tied as they
Wealthy residents have already been helped for decades. They've been able
to carefully curate a limited supply of housing in a coveted area.

Bravo indeed, refreshing to see a town working hard and getting ahead of
the issue. It is easy to throw seemingly indefinable terms around like
"town character" or to assume schools, traffic, the environment, parking,
septic, crime etc are insurmountable issues. Lincoln has historically gone

Thanks again for the response, and thank you to Lynn as well.

This all sounds like an endorsement for building housing that is affordable
to middle class residents. A recent town meeting slide for the Community
Center showed that the average home value is around $1.2mil. There are many
people who would like to downsize or move into town but are unable to

So they identified issues over 20 years ago and are trying to NIMBY their
way out of allowing 4 more single family homes? Sounds like the development
isn't the problem, it's them.

It was brought up earlier that Lincoln is progressive. I'd argue that many
of the new ideas such as changing trail use, housing etc that are discussed
on here tend to take a rather conservative viewpoint.

Is/was the existing parking lot cost neutral now that it sits almost empty

Income and housing type don't tell the whole story. Even the least
expensive housing option to purchase (that I can find) right now is roughly
$3500/mo with 20% down after taxes and condo fees. Step that up to a single
family and you are at nearly $2mil.
I can't even find any available rentals
Speculation and suggestions of changing policy are premature at this point.
There has been no official root cause analysis.
I work in the power industry and like the railroad there are regulated and
