There's so much energy around closing the racial wealth gap in Boston. And I'm here to tell you why focusing on homeownership is not the best way to do that. (a 🧵)
Missed opportunity for Milton. This would have been 80 affordable and 6 market rate homes on plot of land deeded to the town by Royal Governor Stoughton in 1701 to benefit the town’s “poore”. What got built so far? 23 single family homes selling for $1.5 million and up. #mapoli
@IamMurphness The scale of other uses proposed can definitely deeply subsidize this account of retail space. I agree with you that it would be a good thing
Glad the project is finally starting. But a 10% increase in costs from the lawsuit delay = ~$10.5 million in extra cost. Bad faith NIMBY lawsuits have real consequences. And remember, Monty Gold & @TurtleSwampBrew are subjecting @JP_NDC to same thing right across the street.
Proud of the amazing work of our Community Impact staff, an integral part of our property management teams.
The past year has reinforced how valuable and indispensable this work is. We are now investing $7M annually in this effort and will keep expanding.
