They will get people to buy these homes. It's asinine but they will sell.
There was a home for sale in Wakefield a couple of years ago that had <1 acre lot. Some construction company bought the house, tore it down and built not one but two large houses on that lot. I should say squeezed two houses in. They are right on top of each other. They are located very close to the highway, on a very busy street with commercial trucks going down regularly. They both sold for over 1 million each. When they were listed, I laughed at the price as who would spend that money to live on a constantly busy street, no front yard, no privacy, but it sold. The neighborhood is made up of older 3 bed homes that are at least half the size of them.
Massachusetts is going to look like Silicon Valley in the years to come. People are going to priced out very soon and cities and towns are doing nothing to prevent this. All they see is the almighty dollar sign. The greed and gluttony has no bounds and families that have raised children for generations are finding it difficult to impossible to stay.
So what you are seeing is the changing from working class family suburbs to multimillion homes. Take pictures because it won't be here for long
