All second residential properties owned by individuals or companies in MA should be taxed heavily to the point of them being unprofitable. Obviously more housing needs to be built, but at this point landlords of all sizes are exhibiting parasitic behavior that undercuts community development and real small businesses.

I’ve lived up the street from there for 10 years — the proposal is a good thing. Everyone deserves housing, and we’re only as strong as the neediest among us. Additionally, as a former public school teacher, I believe people need to stop using their kids as excuses to block this type of development — fairly presumptuous of them to assume another child’s parent or relative won’t benefit, which in turn helps the kid.
