Nah. For one, Mass. is super densely populated already. We can't just build out into open land like they can out west. And when we try to, people get upset about woods being torn down.

Secondly, there's a lot of zoning tyranny. You can only build single family homes in a lot of areas, which provides housing for far fewer people. And a lot of SFH owners wanna keep it that way for "the families" cause they don't want college kids and young professionals making noise in their neighborhoods.

Thirdly, where you can build apartment buildings or triple deckers, they build luxury apartment buildings because apparently there are still enough people to make those profitable.

There's no rich people scheming to keep poor people out of an entire state or city. Stuff like this is almost always caused by bureaucracy or NIMBY shit.

He's talking about the homeless people living there.
