Reply to comment by 2nd-Hand-Butt-Plug in Dozens of cities and towns are facing their first big deadline to comply with a new state law that requires them to legalize more homes near MBTA stations. In Weston, a notoriously exclusive suburb, town officials met this morning to discuss how they might comply with the new rules: by streetsblogmass
You have a right to your property, nobody else’s .
If you don’t want anything else ever getting built in your suburb, feel free to buy up all the property in your town.
We are amidst a massive housing crisis because entitled NIMBYs think they are entitled to live right next to a major city, and never have their precious little suburb ever change, despite population throughout the state continuing to grow.
NIMBYs can pound sand.
If you don’t want to live in close proximity to other people, don’t live next to a major city, and go move out into the sticks.
Your precious little suburb doesn’t exist in a vacuum.

You dont need direct mbta access. Towns adjacent are also effected

What do you mean? I'm saying thank you, and depending on the temperature of both it and my surroundings, getting a cup of ice. Then I'm drinking it.
What else is there to do?

That’s a really opinionated survey you’ve got there … might want to look up what a leading question is.

Sparse suburban is a term used when searching for homes, like on Niche.

We both work from home so we’re not tied to a commute right now. Who knows if that’ll change in a few years, but we’d prefer not to live too close to Boston and don’t have interest in the Cape or north of Boston at this time since it’s far from both of our families.

Explain how you (or anyone else here), got "racist and classisist" from what I posted?
Maybe it was like that 30+ years go, but why do some people here still insist that any opposition has to be race or class related?
Have you (any of you), ever considered that some communities just simply do not want their way of life disrupted and are not comfortable with the developments that are not right or fit in with the community?
> I hope Weston becomes as dense as Back Bay.
And this is exactly the reason why I would and will support and contribute to any effort to repeal and eliminate the existing legislation

Thanks for the effort! I didn’t want to burden folks with more criteria. Your Wilbraham rec is interesting as I just saw a house on Zillow there but didn’t know how the town was, so I’ll check it out! Thanks.

Yeah, while they're not "hilly", they nonetheless have very nice landscapes. The rail trail in Holliston is very nice for recreation.

I definitely read Groton wrong as I’ve never heard of Groton, ha. Thanks for the Grafton area suggestions, I haven’t checked those out.

You’re right I guess it is unnecessary, who cares who I’m buying it with. And the word feels weird every time I try to use it, but whenever I say partner people assume I mean a woman and then get all confused when I talk about him later. Everything I’m saying here leads back to society being weird. Ah.

Acton has a great library and a Discovery Museum for the kids.

Individual cities get their power of self determination from the state. That’s how it works
