Spreading Truth and Facts about Cambridge's Affordable Housing Overlay. Based in #CambridgeMA, this #politics-related account will share details on #zoning and #municipal government actions to keep you informed.

The Good: Cambridge's Affordable Housing Overlay has adding 400+ new homes to the affordable housing pipeline.

The Bad: intended as a _floor_ for affordable housing development, the Cambridge BZA has instead interpreted the AHO as a _ceiling_, rejecting projects like 2072 Mass Ave. proposed under 40B.

The Better: The 2022 AHO proposal responds to the BZA's absurd position, creating a more sensible zoning allowance given the lack of willingness to grant new 40B proposals.
