The quest for housing in Massachusetts is challenging due to high costs, shortages, and unchanged land-use rules, posing a significant struggle for residents.
The MBTA Communities Law aims to promote more multifamily housing in 177 towns to address the housing shortage, but faces resistance from communities like Milton, Marblehead, and Holden.
Opponents of the law argue against state overreach, fearing a change in their town's identity, while advocates stress the need for all cities to contribute to solving the housing crisis.
