Hope to see these in Massachusetts soon!

Read this whole thread, and congratulations California YIMBY!

A new poll of Boston residents on housing finds; 💰73% think cost of renting or buying is a 'MAJOR PROBLEM' 👎74% rate City's response as fair or poor 🏗️81% say City "needs to allow more homes" 🏡80% support a goal of 30,000 new homes 🚇71% support 12-story buildings near MBTA

“A lot of times, we’re reluctant to change on really dumb things.” Many of the rules shaping what we can and can’t build today were written 50–60 years ago. If we want to meet Massachusetts’ modern housing needs, everything should be on the table for reform. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/10/05/o...

We hope to see #Allston #Brighton folks at the AHMA Boston City Council At-Large Candidates Forum this Thursday! Easy ride via the 66 bus! Speak up for more housing!

“Eliminating minimum parking requirements is a historic-preservation strategy, a climate action, a mobility win & housing-affordability policy in one. It helps make housing more affordable, neighborhoods more walkable, & city more livable.” - Salem Planning Board www.bostonglobe.com/2025/09/29/b...

Really worth thinking about this thread as we plan for our Allston-Brighton neighborhood here in Boston. And not just keeping our eyes on city of Boston actions, but on our Massachusetts state legislature to pass h.1542 to have a commission studying single stair building reform.

Really good explainer from ShelterForce: Affordable Housing Finance 101: shelterforce.org/2025/05/28/a...

This is housing produced per decade in Massachusetts (the height of each bar). The color bands show distribution between highly walkable (very low VMT) and not walkable (very high VMT). From the Terner Center at UC Berkeley, ternercenter.berkeley.edu/blog/buildin...

This is a very interesting analysis. You can use the report to look at Massachusetts data on housing production generally and in walkable neighborhoods. We have a lot of work to do!

Thanks to everyone who came to the #Allston #Brighton Anti-Displacement Workshop today and sharing your stories. And thank you City of Boston staff for putting this plan together and Charlesview for creating a wonderful space for the community to come together. www.boston.gov/departments/...

I can't believe drive-through country of Connecticut will reform parking statewide before we will.

Worried that you or neighbors and businesses you love are having to leave #Allston-Brighton because of high housing or commercial space costs? Join us for a #Boston Anti-Displacement workshop this Saturday! Register here: bosplans.org/ABAntiDispla...

Good news about Squares + Streets zoning getting approved in Roslindale Square. Looking forward to planning and zoning reform in #Allston #Brighton. Too many of our neighbors are having to leave due to housing costs. More housing, more options.

Big news for housing advocates: New polling shows strong, bipartisan support for more housing across Massachusetts—even when it means changes to neighborhood character or local control. The momentum is real, and it’s growing. www.abundanthousingma.org/resources/20...

Excellent overview article about single-stair building code reform. Let's go, Massachusetts! And Boston has a city council hearing coming up on this.
