Thanks for the thoughts. MA certainly has a dark history. Exclusions of many sorts (including housing-related) are a stunning part of that story. I wanted to offer that the residents’ group who’ve been working on viable alternatives to the HCA compliant models the appointed town working group have
Dear Lincoln,
The HCA is a well intentioned state-wide mandate that gives towns and
cities tools and flexibility to zone for additional high-density housing.
It is not intended to eliminate affordable housing, but it can place limits
on it.

Would you be willing to share the site plans that you have from Civico with

Last week somebody placed three signs at the median outside the Old Town Hall.
This is private property, and since we don't allow signs outside, we took them

Can someone please explain what happens to Lincoln Woods in 2032 as it
pertains to our town’s Subsidized Housing Inventory pool.
I see a comment in the 2013 Housing Report that ‘Affordability Expires’ in
2032. Not sure if that is still valid or not.

I encourage everyone to watch the video Ben created (link copied below). It

The state model does account for septics and setbacks in its 20% open space

How can The Commons be considered for the MBTA Communities housing requirements
in Lincoln because The Commons has an age restriction? Below I've copied the
text of the relevant section from

and highlighted
The state's (implied) reasoning is that you can't actually build (zoned
density x parcel size) on land with wetlands. This is true - the logistics
of setbacks, height restrictions, and the need for septic and circulation
and parking. Their concern is that towns do not claim that land with
wetlands
Hi Ben and others -
Thanks for digging into the details of how the state compliance model
works. I'm a Data Scientist by profession so the video seemed clear to me
after a few viewings, but I'm still drinking my coffee and not firing on
cylinders yet so I wanted to sanity check my understanding.

The state model does not account for the need for wastewater treatment
(septic). In my personal opinion the model as applied to the entire
re-zoned areas overstates what can be built as it does not account for the
substantial amount of dry land required for a septic system. For example,

Ben, this is a really great explanation of the major flaw of the state
compliance model, and why the modeled units are not the same as maximum
possible units.
Thanks for taking the time to make this!
