I never said that I live in Chelsea? I was giving examples of areas that are being gentrified and fellow Bostonians have re-educated me on #2

I shop at Market Basket and am thankful for it

Thank you for sharing your experience

“The NYU researchers even concede that some of these concerns have merit—for example, some new housing developments probably really will drive up prices nearby (more on that later), and the paper emphasizes that market-rate development alone won’t fix the housing crisis without the help government subsidized housing.

But Been and her colleagues still believe that “adding new homes moderates price increases and therefore makes housing more affordable”—period.”

Thank you for the sources. I feel like i understand this a bit more. Sounds like we need market-rate and affordable or subsidized housing, not just market-rate. Many commenters mentioned that developers are not incentivized to build affordable housing. How can we incentivize them?
