![The Boston Globe: “Healey Makes First Major Housing Push”](https://housingsolutionscoalition.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/0307fb77-a2c1-4f9a-afa3-4784194f3e3c.jpg)
Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey released a package of sweeping housing reforms for legislative consideration. Included in the package is a proposal for a $4.1 billion housing bond. Not particularly controversial. Other parts of her housing package, however, are expected to draw opposition. These hot-button proposals include allowing cities to tax certain real-estate transactions; banning cities from imposing parking requirements near transit; and allowing homeowners to build ADUs, even in neighborhoods where the local zoning doesn’t allow it. – The Boston Globe
