🎉 At last night's @BostonPlans public meeting on the City's pending zoning reform, Squares + Streets, the agency announced the reintroduction of the S5 zoning option to the draft amendment, which had been dropped between their November and December presentations. 🎉
🧵 Image Our advocacy to get it back, along with that of other @AbundantHomesMA member orgs & other pro-housing allies, made a difference here. The new zoning language will now have *all* the tools needed to create more homes, vibrancy, economic growth & better climate resiliency. 👏👏👏 Image

🚨TONIGHT🚨 @BostonPlans is hosting a public mtg @ 6pm abt 3 Aspinwall Rd #Dorchester
A 4 story building w 34 homes has already been approved, but the numbers don't work due to rising costs & interest rates. The developer is asking to increase to 45 condos bostonplans.org/projects/devel…
Image The parcel is the site of a former nursing home which has sat abandoned in Codman Square since 1995. Adding a 5th floor would mean being able to create 11 more homes in the same footprint, including 2 additional income-restricted below market rate units. Image
