Marblehead rejected compliance with the MBTA Communities Act, sparking resistance in several towns against state-mandated zoning changes for multifamily housing near T stops. Legal actions have been threatened and taken against non-compliant towns.
State leaders emphasize the mandatory nature of compliance with the law, designed to address the housing affordability crisis. Non-compliant communities risk losing significant state grants, putting pressure on residents to conform.
