The MBTA Communities Act mandates that certain communities develop multi-family housing zoning plans by year-end, but many towns oppose the state-imposed zoning targets.
State Rep. Turco criticizes the MBTA law, stating it is a 'one-size-fits-all approach' that ignores the unique characteristics and needs of individual communities.
Turco believes the law creates an 'unfunded mandate' that places additional burdens on local governments and schools, particularly affecting working-class communities.
Communities like Winthrop and Medway are faced with substantial housing unit targets under the MBTA Act, causing tension in local governance.
