Here are the facts from Telegram April 25th, 2022:
Worcester’s affordable housing report card exceeds the minimum mark established by the state.
Of the city’s total housing supply, 13.5% is classified as affordable, according to Dunn.
That exceeds the 10% threshold required in all Massachusetts communities.
We are 35% over the Commonwealth requirement. Now this from MassLive:
Worcester City Council will be learning more about inclusionary zoning, which requires developers to include a certain amount of affordable housing in their housing development projects, at its meeting Tuesday.
In a report prepared by Chief Development Officer Peter Dunn, he suggested an inclusionary zoning ordinance for Worcester that would apply to all new multifamily developments with 12 or more units
Should we not be encouraging developers??? Very interesting read

But it will be awesome for virtue signaling!
Seriously. If the council,wants affordable housing built, subsidize it, don’t try to penalize developers into doing it. If you want more of something, fund it. If you want less, tax it and over regulate it.
