>People in WMA hate this idea because it means getting priced out of neighborhoods they've been in for generations.

I can certainly sympathize with that. We’re seeing the effects of Boston pricing people out all the way in Worcester. Good thing for home owners & landlords. Terrible for renters.

Awful for families, too. You're not going to see each other as often when you're force to move to another county or another state by high prices. I think it contributes to the loneliness crisis, too. Being pulled away from your friends makes it hard to socialize again
