Boston city councilors are considering the elimination of all parking requirements for residential developments in the latest step aimed at affordability. bizjournals.com/boston/news/…
MAPC was proud to testify with Rep. Kassner and @naiopma in support of site plan review. This legislation is sorely needed to help expedite the approval of certain projects by providing a non-discretionary permit that will help address the housing crisis.

Important piece by Jordan Wolman w/ @CWBeacon. MAPC Senior Government Affairs Specialist Norman Abbott spoke with Wolman as the agency is in support of flood disclosure, & Abbott testified on the bill last month. Check out our fact sheet for more info: mapc.org/wp-content/uploads/…
New: Massachusetts is one of just 14 states not to require flood disclosures when a property owner sells. @MassGovernor is looking to change that, and she has broad business support to do it.
One key group could stand in the way: the real estate industry
