We need urgent action from City Hall to boost the supply of housing – housing that’s affordable to the residents who have built and sustained our neighborhoods, and to families and newcomers looking to put down roots here.
I’m the only candidate for mayor with the right plan to increase housing production at all levels: affordable, middle-income and market-rate.
To remain a global leader in talent and opportunity, Boston must lead the way in transforming livability and affordability for everyone making a home here: bringing down the cost of living for our workforce and boosting civic infrastructure for quality of life.
We need to make the development process as public and accessible as possible. It’s not just about where and when public meetings are held, but who is seated at the table, what language they’re speaking, and how – not if – they follow up with the community.
Boston needs a development process that makes the most of our remarkable assets. First, we need to shake up the BPDA. Second, we need to speed up the development process. Third, we need to make Boston’s zoning more predictable.
