[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Even the YImBYist of YImBY groups acknowledge that this will do little to nothing to create affordable housing. https://www.strongtowns.org/journal/2023/4/26/upzoning-might-not-lower-housing-costs-do-it-anyway So, in the end we should go through all of this to have “walkable urban neighborhoods” in areas of suburban housing that few people have asked for, and in fact many of them moved away from on purpose.[/quote] At least they are saying the quiet part out loud now. It’s not about housing, it’s about people who can’t afford to live in the city recreating a city in the suburbs. Interesting that the article mention Somerville as some form of ideal. The genius planners there let a bunch of beloved local, independent restaurants and shops get bulldozed to make way for a much larger Tufts science lab. [/quote]
