Should Mass. officials be allowed to force local communities to zone for multifamily housing?
Choices
Poll Description

On March 19, a judge ruled the showdown between the Massachusetts attorney general and the Town of Milton will go before the full Supreme Judicial Court in October. The dispute is over the MBTA Communities Act, which requires cities and towns near T service to adopt zoning allowing multifamily housing by right in certain areas. Some Massachusetts local governments, including Holden, have pushed back against the requirement, saying such zoning doesn't fit in their communities. 

Gov. Maura Healey and Attorney General Andrea Campbell have cracked down on non-compliant communities with lawsuits and by reducing state funding, as part of a larger effort to address the statewide affordable housing crisis. The MBTA Communities Act is one of a handful of laws designed to increase housing construction by having at least one zoning district of reasonable size where multifamily housing is permitted.
