Reply to comment by NativeMasshole in State lawmakers introduce bill to bring back rent control by HRJafael

Would have been smart to introduce inclusionary zoning before they approved a bunch of market rate units. Instead they greenlit a bunch of developments then started talking about it.

Yup. Either way, the market isn't going back down, so the only 2 realistic options for those getting priced out in Worcester would be to continue raising minimum wage and to directly invest in low income housing. We're never going to catch up to demand enough to stop the market from going up here, and we need housing for low income workers now.
