Should Cambridge revise zoning policy
Cambridge faces a housing affordability crisis, prompting the city to implement inclusionary zoning requiring 20 percent of residential floor area to be income-restricted for large developments. Recent lawsuits challenge this requirement's constitutionality, raising questions about its effectiveness. Evidence suggests many new projects add few units and often replace lower-cost homes, highlighting the need for a more graduated and protected approach. The city aims to balance affordability, increase housing supply, and preserve existing communities through policy reforms.
