Here’s an idea to spur more housing in Massachusetts: start new towns

To address the housing crisis in the U.K, the new Labor government is reviving an old idea of building entirely new towns on vacant land. One project includes building 10,000 homes on a former WWII airfield. … The pace of the new construction has been ‘sluggish.’ Sound familiar? Like our stalled development plans for Devens and South Weymouth? 

Update – Sal Lupoli has just landed a manufacturing tenant at his mega-development site in Littleton, where he plans to build more than 1,000 housing units as part of a mix-used project.
