The Boston Globe endorses a YES vote on February 13. Terrific editorial making the case. "Milton has taken plenty of time already. It’s developed a solid plan. Now it’s time to move." #voteyes #yes4milton #mapoli #bospoli #affordable #HousingCrisis

Housing is healthcare.
Housing is jobs.
Housing is key to the social determinants of health.

Milton has a chance on Feb. 13 to show we can work together to not have housing by chance, but housing by choice.

Any change would be discussed in public Planning Board meetings before being presented to the Select Board, Warrant Committee, and Town Meeting. (2/2)

[Yes For Milton @yesformilton]

FAQ: Can the Town make any changes to the zoning in the future? A: If the YES vote succeeds, the Planning Board can amend the proposal at any point in the future. #yesformilton #yes4milton #mapoli #housing #affordability (1/2)

[Yes For Milton @yesformilton]

That $1MM is per year at full build out. Without full buildout, revenue is less but, importantly, it is not predicted to be a drain on Milton’s finances. #mapoli #yesformilton #affordability #housing (2/2)

[Yes For Milton @yesformilton]

FAQ: Will the proposal be a drain on Milton's budget? A: According to RKG, professional consultants used by Milton’s Planning Board, the plan would result in an estimated net additional tax revenue (gross property taxes minus municipal and school costs) of more than $1MM. (1/2)

[Yes For Milton @yesformilton]

Given the town's proximity to Boston, outstanding public school, and excellent quality of life, the town will likely remain a very strong market for single-family homes. (2/2)

[Yes For Milton @yesformilton]

FAQ: Will the proposal negatively impact the value of homes in Milton? A: The range of Milton’s home prices will expand with additional multi-family housing. However, it is unlikely that the value of single-family homes, which make up 78% of Milton's housing, will change. (1/2)

Good mail day! @yesformilton

[Yes For Milton @yesformilton]

The new school building project will make available approximately 499 spaces in the existing elementary schools, allowing the schools to accommodate the additional number of school aged children. (4/4)

[Yes For Milton @yesformilton]

FAQ: What are the anticipated impacts on the Milton Public Schools from the zoning proposal? A: The Town's consultant, RKG, examined the impact of a full build out of the proposed zoning and found that it would add 265 school aged children to the district. (1/4)

[Yes For Milton @yesformilton]

Milton School Superintendent Peter Burrows said during the December 4th session of Town Meeting, “We don’t believe that the numbers would significantly impact” the ability to educate new students in Milton. (3/4)

[Yes For Milton @yesformilton]

Complying with the state law may provide a good opportunity for Milton to work with the state to address our challenges. New traffic signals, redesign of on-ramps and off ramps, and other infrastructure improvements on state-owned roads are essential to mitigating traffic. (4/4)

[Yes For Milton @yesformilton]

FAQ: Won't adding more housing increase Milton's already terrible traffic? A: The majority of Milton’s traffic problems are due to our geographic location surrounded by highways on almost all sides. (1/4)

[Yes For Milton @yesformilton]

Gradually adding new housing units across town over multiple years will not have a measurable impact as Milton’s traffic problem is largely related to cut through traffic rather than internally generated. (3/4)
