It is a false choice to present the issue as one of compliance versus not. There are different ways of complying that do not require giving away the town to developers. Rezoning large swaths of prime area for HCA compliance equates to giving up on the town's longstanding mission of providing truly

That is what so beautiful about housing development in Lincoln.  I was amazed at the number of condos already existed in the Lincoln Station area.  However, this is all about to change under HCA.  There will be 3 story condo buildings on Lincoln Road and the rural character of Lincoln will change f

Thank you for reminding us about this fact Ben. I am really puzzled as to why people seem to think Lincoln is just homes for the wealthy. The number of condos here is huge. Maybe people are unaware of their existence because they are all (except Lincoln Woods) located on roads that you would not tr

I get the concern about growing up privileged and isolated. However, I am not sure the HCA gets at the root cause. 40% of Lincoln’s housing units are multifamily. It would seem that the issue is not the amount of multifamily housing, but apparently a lack of intermingling, which would suggest a

Thank you for the clarity and your rationale Sarah. HCA is clearly not about affordable housing and diversity. It's comical to argue so. I would think a developer such as Community Builders with their morals and business model would be an ideal fit for the mall area and they are already here and

This issue isn't affecting Lincoln in a bubble. Almost all cities/towns affected by the act are likely to comply. If Lincoln chooses not to comply: - new development would still have to go through the onerous process of town meeting - development opportunities in surrounding towns would have mu

The HCA was absolutely not written with affordable housing in mind. It has ZERO requirements for affordable housing written into it and it caps the amount of affordable housing that most towns can require at 10%. You also have to keep in mind that “affordable income units” are capped at 80% of the

There’s been a lot of discussion about the number of Actual Affordable units in town vs. each development’s impact on the town's SHI. That the number of actual units is less than what the town get’s “credit” for on our SHI is a valid concern, but there are reasons why this is done. For one, it
