Massachusetts is in a housing crisis - and it's going to take all of us to address it head on.
That's why my office is issuing an advisory calling on towns and cities to comply with the MBTA Communities Zoning Law to provide relief and advance critical climate and transit goals.
Fun and interactive event to help shape #MetroCommon2050, GreaterBoston's next regional plan!
To accommodate all schedules, this #Boston listening session will run from 3pm to 8pm on March 6 at Hibernian Hall.

“It’s difficult for a broad and diverse group of residents to engage in these conversations” says @jessekb of zoning and development. Let’s get more and varied folks involved in the conversation! #ReframingHousing
