Housing Mandate

[Babagounj]

The Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority { MBTA } Communities Act requires 177 Cities and Towns to establish “at least 1 district of reasonable size in which multi-family housing is permitted as of right.” Where possible, the district must be within a half mile from public transportation (commuter rail, bus station, ferry terminal or subway). MBTA Communities must permit the development of housing suitable for families with children, and may not impose age restrictions, within the district.

The goal here is to bypass all local building codes so that three-decker homes { triple-decker triplex or stacked triplex } will be built to make up for the lack of affordable housing. Several towns have rejected the law to which the State has now upped the game.

Outrage pours in after fire crews learn they may not receive state grants for gear

“No firefighter should have their life put at risk because their community doesn’t have a particular housing policy,” said State Senator Bruce Tarr.

Fire chiefs across the state were notified Wednesday about a new amendment to their grant applications, which says they’re only eligible if their communities comply with the state’s new MBTA Communities Act.

“To go through the entire process, have all our applications submitted and then have the rules changed and actually be held kind of hostage for compliance for something that we don’t have a vote on, it directly affects the safety of firefighters,” said Chief Antonio Marino, Fire Chief of the Wrentham Fire Department.

Chief Marino says his department relies on that state grant to fund new, essential gear.

Government can never make housing "affordable". Never.

They tried that here and unsurprisingly was a big failure. Little more than attempt to move the ghetto to the suburbs.

The NJ mobsters in Trenton made a deal where as rich suburbs can pay off developers, shifting undesirable housing to the hood. Still expensive, but we keep certain element away.

Real problem caused by horrible zoning laws being fixed by an even more horrible jackboot mandate

Never change New England

Yes be a lifetime welfare recipient the dance and expect the rest of the hard working people to give you affordable housing.

The real point was missed by all.
Local Fire Departments requests for Grant Funds are being refused as punishment if their city/town voters reject the MBTA Mandate.
Many fire departments can only upgrade their equipment by using the grants. Some badly need those upgrades as local budgets are only good for keeping the lights on.
My town got lucky this year, we had a donation from a cover assignment fire where the owner paid back for services rendered. { that owner is a member of his own local fire department }

Talk about jacking up the price of housing. This is how you do it. Combine that with that Abbott Decision, and you get even more unaffordable housing, thousands of extra dollars in property taxes paid every month.

Here there is an area where rich people put a lot of deed restrictions on land to keep out the riff raff.
