Efforts advanced by pro-development, orYIMBY (“yes in my backyard”),groups to push back against these rules include streamlining permitting processes, eliminatingparking requirements(which add to the cost of new construction), encouragingtransit-oriented developments, and changing zoning laws to allow...
20th century, until earlyzoning advocates forced them out. In that sense, my grandfather bringing his multigenerational family (and renters) to the area wasn’t anything new, even in a rich suburb like Brookline. Also,every neighborhood has always been changing forever and always will, the end...

Given that TOD aims to encourage density, diversification, and design, it serves to critically analyze whether or not available land around stations and their in-place zoning (or density thresholds) can allow for significant redevelopment and significant densification. The intent is that this can sup...
First, connections allow animals to reach diverse habitats within their home ranges; and second, at a broader scale, connections permit occasional movements between somewhat isolated populations of wildlife (i.e., metapopulation theory). But are we talking about movement of panthers or insects? For...
far more than current zoning would allow, but most of the neighborhood is nonconforming and grandfathered anyhow. Normally, such properties can continue unmolested unless the owner requests a change of use or makes major modifications; but city code allows for the property to be forced into confor...
