It's a little worrying that on the front page of the TEC website they have a spotlight on what appears to be them "improving" a street by paving it and removing the trees.

Do you work for TEC or for the town?

Looking forward to see how this turns out. Seems like it will go a long way towards making Littleton a more walkable town.

It's definitely the ADHD. Forget one day about your mail in ballot, no problem. Forget one day about vote in person, better luck next year.

The government absolutely shouldn't do anything about this. The insurance companies just need more time to work out the kinks.

>So last May, at a special town meeting, Rockport adopted new zoning bylaws that would put it into compliance with the Baker administration’s new rules aimed at increasing multifamily housing in the 175 cities and towns that are served by the MBTA.
>The plan, which passed...called for a 12-acre “transit-oriented village” near the Railroad Avenue commuter rail station
Yay! More housing! This is what we wanted. Public transportation is added benefit. Sounds great.
>the losing side filed a 10-taxpayer suit ... charging the administration’s regulations — and the entire Housing Choice law — are “unconstitutional.”
It's not unconstitutional, it non-constitutional. As in, nothing to do with the state constitution.
>The new rules, finalized in August, are expected to create an estimated 283,500 new units of housing statewide
>In the suit, the Rockport taxpayers allege that in adopting the law the Legislature “has attempted to coerce the municipalities to adopt MBTA zoning districts which it, itself, is not constitutionally empowered to draw. The coercion comes in the form of a statutory denial of access to specific grant programs.”
>MBTA communities that don’t comply will be shut out of the Housing Choice Initiative grant program, MassWorks, which provides grants for infrastructure, and the Local Capital Projects Fund.
Isn't this the same kind of coercion used by the Federal government to get states to have a 21 year drinking age in exchange for federal highway money?

My ballot had ovals to fill in, not boxes to mark an X in. Does that vary by county or something?

I meant it's too late for this election. We have to vote on the question as it is right now.
Of course, whether we pass this as it is now or not, the legislature could make changes or another ballot question could be proposed in the future.
