Why does building a home in Newton often require years of special permits, committee hearings, and appeals? And why does this exhaustive process mean that Newton ends up with so many expensive McMansions instead of the diverse housing options our community needs?
What we’re seeing isn’t an accident. The housing we get is the direct result of decades of zoning and permitting tweaks. Each rule change started with good intentions, but the cumulative outcome is the crunch we’re in now. Come learn about why Newton’s housing rules aren’t working and how the city is beginning to fix them.
