I think that focusing on Boston though is a mistake, and is not what I mean when I state my favor for expansion. I think expanding rail/public transit in and around Wrocester and Lowell, and perhaps other industry centers, might do well for opening up housing markets, which in turn may entice businesses to stay or expeand in the region.Lizzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05666766806992961275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703913.post-1148330610928861652006-05-22T16:43:00.000-04:002006-05-22T16:43:00.000-04:00There's a really good discussion this, keying off ...There's a really good discussion this, keying off on Charley's post on the topic at <A HREF="http://tinyurl.com/r4epx" REL="nofollow">BlueMassGroup</A>. As one of the commenters notes, the candidates had better be ready to discuss this and come up with workable solutions.<BR/><BR/>Months ago, Deval came out with one approach, concentrating on permitting multi-family housing. At yesterday's Lt. Gov. debate, Tim Murray came at it from the extra-Boston viewpoint; have excellent mass transit to where the jobs are. Although, I don't know if an hour commute will please most people.<BR/><BR/>I think the report the <I>Globe</I> covers overstates the case a bit. Housing is not the only reason folk are leaving the area. Like the rest of the country, we have a habit of waiting until it's panic time to act. It's panic time. <BR/><BR/>We need to have a reasonable tax base, an executive branch willing to fund housing infrastructure, including in cities. That could happen this year.massmarrierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02358207247771711952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703913.post-1148318156641492502006-05-22T13:15:00.000-04:002006-05-22T13:15:00.000-04:00I haven't decided who I like yet.

He happens to be Irish, but he is by no means part of the Billy Bulger, Ray Flynn, Tom Finneran crowd that personified Irish American inserdom in Massachusetts politics for decades. He has taken many independant positions on a variety of issues.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
