The 40B Record

  • Massachusetts ranks 49th in national housing affordability after 39 years of 40B developments
  • Fails to produce enough affordable housing (about 3 units per town per year)
  • Forces growth of mostly high density, unaffordable homes
  • Wastes your tax dollars to subsidize upscale new development
  • Causes skyrocketing land prices & higher taxes
  • Eliminates open space
  • Disregards the environment
  • Stresses infrastructure and the limits of town services
  • Exhausts community resources like water and energy
  • Violates Massachusetts' Sustainable Development Principles
  • Burdens municipalities as an unfunded state mandate

40B is nothing more than a tool being used by developers to extract huge profits at the expense of our communities.
