Reply to comment by BasilExposition75 in Maura Healey wants to solve the state’s housing crisis. Here’s step one. by _Hack_The_Planet_

I really love this law, but I do LOL at Healey taking public credit for the Baker administration's work.

I do think there's further to go, in that this law is best coupled with additional investment in the bus and commuter rail system. Many towns have access to the MBTA, but it's not really usable access.

Right, like let's built dense near rail... Maybe next near the highway... but encouraging people to sprawl with cars based upon being "close" to rail seems like they are using the MBTA community law as an excuse.

It'll be up to her administration and all subsequent administrations to enforce it. Writing the law was the easy part, getting towns to agree to it and do the re-zoning will be the hard part.
