Would you rather have more homes or more parking lots? Outdated parking minimums require housing projects to build parking whether it's needed or not—raising costs and limiting homes. 📅 June 4: Boston City Council hearing on parking minimums. tinyurl.com/y62dv3e6

This week I met with constituents from @abundanthousingma.org. We discussed the need for more homes near public transit with no minimum parking requirements, plus a single-stair study commission because our outdated building code makes mid-rise housing unnecessarily expensive to build.

Marblehead (where I grew up) deserves the attention it’s getting from this extremely cool dude but it is unfortunately not alone in “meeting” 3A requirements in a way where no housing will actually be built. If you’re in MA, channel this moment’s energy into changing the law. #Chowder #Nomar
