No not all. Starts with a bad point lack of political will. The article itself is about Boston’s elected leader pushing for it. They are right about cost but are off track on why. It just was articulated better a half dozen times right above it

I read it as: These conversions are extensive, difficult, a pain in the ass, and as yet mostly unproven in the market. Therefore developers will not undertake them without govt subsidies or at least regulation streamlining. That last part is where the political will comes in.
