Cambridge, MA just upped the ante for every pro-housing municipality in the USA, legalizing 4-to-6 floors & corner stores on every lot in the city. This is what it looks like to truly prioritize affordability & creating access to homes of all shapes and sizes. Absolutely historic.

There are 351 cities & towns in Massachusetts, but only one has ended exclusionary zoning everywhere. Congrats to Cambridge for leading on housing abundance. Special ❤️ to our board member Councilor Azeem & our members @ A Better Cambridge for spearheading this victory.
