Massachusetts Might End Single-Family Zoning

Duplexes everywhere: Yesterday, an amendment (#372) that would legalize duplexes across the state of Massachusetts was added to an economic development bill moving through the state senate. If passed into law, this provision would ensure that duplexes can be built anywhere single-family homes can, with few exceptions.
Massachusetts is missing housing: The Bay State is the second-worst state in the nation for homebuilding and affordability, according to rankings from Realtor.com. This likely-to-pass reform is a welcome shift towards pro-housing policies.
