Down in the South Shore, many towns water treatment plants can’t support existing housing let alone MORE housing. Until the infrastructure is upgraded our housing crisis won’t be addressable.
And people who already live here don’t want more people, our traffic already sucks…So why would selectmen rebuild 75 yr old water treatment plants when no one wants it?
It’s a chicken and egg scenario. We need more housing but don’t have enough sewer/water. See recent Summer droughts.
