Why does waltham need more housing?
|
Children who grow up in Waltham can no longer afford to buy or rent a home close to family in their hometown.
|
Retired residents who hope to downsize while staying in Waltham cannot find homes which are suitable for them.
|
|
Our city is developing office and lab space at a rapid pace, bringing new workers to Waltham at a pace that far exceeds our current housing supply.
|
By not building sufficient housing near our job centers, our city encourages long commutes which worsen traffic and increase carbon emissions.
