The point is just to increase housing supply not create “affordable housing”. Right now there is massively more demand than supply, so any incremental unit is still very expensive. We’ve strangled housing supply for so long that it seems like the only way is for the state to come in and do rent control.

We start allowing supply again and the less desireable places on the commuter rail i.e: Brockton/ bridgewater/ Randolph get truly affordable over time, “top” destinations like Weston housing price growth stalls out at least.

I’ve never seen an area more adverse to economics 101 than Boston.
