Hi All,
A lot to think about with Brookline’s response to the HCA.
Just to put things in perspective, Brookline (a town with over 26,000 housing
units) has just passed rezoning that could result in “up to 800 units” raising
their existing housing stock by “nearly 3%” and is characterized as
The 800 unit figure for Brookline is not accurate. The theoretical total
fror Brookline is 6,990 units with the Globe citing 1,540 as possible per
town officials. See:

It seems that there are some vocal members in HCAWG who are
deeply concerned about the housing crisis in the State and would
like to let the town volunteer itself to help alleviate the problem.
This is a noble thought and I for one would strongly endorse
such a view. Many other
Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but I think it’s worth clarifying that despite
what some have indicated in recent discussions, there are not “many neighboring
towns” rejecting the HCA. In fact, of the 177 towns/cities that fall under the
law, I can only identify one town, Holden, that
In Brookline, a considerably more urban area of 63,000 residents, the town
was mandated to add *1,540* new units of housing. Brookline has 3 green
line branches running with high frequency and multiple bus routes. It
developed around the streetcars, and has ample access to public
transportation.

This is what exactly our Select Board should do.
Allow a vote for the town to accept the policy of rezoning the Center
as a principle. Let various groups and neighbors express themselves.
Let it be democratic. Once we decide rezoning, we go to the next
step of what's doable and how we can do it.
Could you please provide a link to where we might contribute to this wonderful
program?
