Boston Mayoral candidate Josh Kraft has unveiled his housing access and affordability plan, prioritizing the construction of new homes and relief for renters. He argues that over 26,000 housing units permitted under Mayor Wu's mandates are stalled due to high affordability requirements. Kraft's plan includes reducing the affordable housing requirement from 20% to 13%, as well as making income-restricted housing more accessible for middle-class workers. He also proposes changes to the rent control system to ensure fair agreements between landlords and tenants, ultimately working to create jobs and new tax revenue for the city.
"Kraft proposes a one-time reset to the inclusionary development policy, reverting to the Walsh administration policy of 13%, which he argues will jump-start the 26,000 stalled units."
