Well articulated and to the point! Thank you for the post.
10% is locally manufactured (possibly pushed by the developer like many
other points).
It is said that septic is a constraint. So we reduce the total number
but keep 25% affordable such that we may accommodate young people.

Thank you Carolyn!
Why is Lincoln rushing to follow HCA guidelines and forever changing the town's
rural character?
Building expensive housing around an inadequate transportation system in
exchange for possible grants that Lincoln has not yet applied for does not make
sense to me.

My point is that for some folks, esp populations who have been denied access,
this is seen as the best way, the most desirable way to build generational
wealth.
DEI is something we, as a community, are committed to.
This is a path to honor that commitment.

I don't claim to have any deep understanding of housing prices and
pressures beyond my limited experience. But I seem to remember from my
student and immediately post-student days that living in new construction
was always expensive. I have never lived in any place that was built more

Very well said, Carolyn. Totally agree. I would not support any of the current
proposals under the present law. Would also stand pat on the protection of
wildlife and Lincoln’s current 100 foot buffer. Otherwise the only people who
win are the developers and their ilk.

While I’m chiming in regarding the HCA, I feel the need to separately address
the issue of affordability:
I understand the Act as written limits affordable units to 10% of the housing
built. This really gets me steamed. The housing challenge in the greater
Boston area isn’t simply a lack of
