Oh I assure you NIMBYisn isn’t exclusive to the suburbs. Plenty of people against affordable housing in New Bedford. It’s stopped some projects from happening even in the last few years.

My biggest concern is where do the current residents go when they can’t afford the rents of property managers who are catering to new commuters? I mean I guess like the shitty 3 families owned by slumlords will still possibly be an option but man it’s fucked out here.

I don’t know the situation. I do know that if you are getting priced out in NB there isn’t much within an hour that’s cheaper without paying/earning compromises. I hope things work out for you.

Yeah I hope so too and everyone else in the city. The only places that we could find that were cheaper were heading pretty far west, or parts of RI or CT.

Something has to happen for housing, and not just here.
