Reply to comment by PLS-Surveyor-US in They’ve Been Warned: Attorney General Says Suburbs ‘Must Comply’ With Transit-Oriented Housing Law by psychothumbs
Cool, and when every single suburb thinks they are special and that housing should be built somewhere else nothing gets built.
Your suburb isn’t special. It doesn’t exist in a vacuum.
I’m glad the state is finally telling these suburbs to shape up.
Lab spaces… you think the people who work in these offices and labs only live in Boston proper?
Funny, suburbanites have no problem outsourcing their office, labs, hospitals, museums, sports stadia, etc. to the city.

Gillette is in the burbs...128 has loads of office spaces as well as other cities like Worcester, Lynn, Springfield. You are missing the point that the infrastructure exists to handle the load IN THE CITIES. No need for special treatment plans or even large scale construction of new schools or roads. I am near an MBTA station for a reason. I expect that others will want that same thing and I think it makes sense. Evicting a bunch of cows because there is a T station half hour drive away (followed by a 90 minute commute) seems like a dumb place to harass a town over how many units they put in.
fight the good fight all you want. I hope this becomes a major issue in the next election and people will vote out the people that pass this style of reform. Feel free to vote how you wish.

So many cows in places like Weston, Wellesley, Newton, and Lexington…
