3-deckers by right statewide, 6 stories within a mile of the T, 12 stories within a half mile of the T.

Yeah I’m good, that’s too much.
12 story buildings aren’t livable in the same way that 4-6 story ones are. Stick those directly on top of T stations and keep them TF away from everywhere else.
5 stories by right within a walk shed of a half mile from T stops in the direct metro (Boston plus inner suburbs) is a good starting place. Livability should be a key consideration in constructing neighborhoods of higher density.
I’d honestly be ok with urban renewal of triple decker neighborhoods to tear down those rotting pieces of shit (as a former triple decker resident, aka rat grove).
