of the threat from the AG for non compliance.

Sarah,It is worth noting a couple of things in response to your post. First, per basic economics, building more housing will tend to mitigate price increases. But even more relevant to your concern about affordable housing, Lincoln has an inclusionary zoning bylaw that requires for any large deve
Bravo indeed, refreshing to see a town working hard and getting ahead of

Moreover, it's important to note that this specifically does nothing for
lower-middle income families. The developers are granted "at right" zoning,
meaning they can build multimillion dollar condos, 4 stories high, to take

Beg to differ.
Every single one of the apartments or condos that they build here will come
with two cars. Until the MBTA actually improves service and improves the
quality of the train cars themselves, there is no reason to believe more
people will take the train. We should build the housing when
Hope they enjoy their additional gridlock, noise and fumes :-)
