Ed's work as City Manager diversified housing stock by fostering the creation of thousands of new housing units- at all income levels- and attracted extraordinary economic investment to Worcester. Great pick and we look forward to working with him in his new role.
Congratulations to Ed Augustus on his new role as @Massgovernor's Sec. of Housing and Livable Communities. NAIOP looks forward to continuing our work with the new Secretariat and the entire Administration to jumpstart production of desperately needed housing across Massachusetts.

We must produce desperately needed housing at all income levels if we are to combat the housing crisis, & Gateway Cities are a critical piece of the puzzle. Thank you @GlobeOpinion for showcasing the successful HDIP program + the data that shows why expanded resources are needed.
Editorial: Unlike wealthier suburbs, places like Brockton welcome housing. But it’s hard to attract developers without help from the state. #mapoli

The housing crisis in MA is real. This outstanding editorial by @BostonGlobe shows it's not new, but it threatens the future of the Commonwealth. Solutions exist and @naiopma looks forward to working with state and local officials to get it done.

Since the early 20th century, the Legislature has let individual municipalities thwart housing. Now the consequences threaten the Commonwealth’s future.

Almost 75% of Boston's operating revenue comes from property taxes. That's up from a little more than half in 2002. That rise is substantial! It's not just being "hyperobsessed with commercial vacancies," it's being cognizant of the city's fiscal health. https://t.co/9Zq69B0E0s

While IDP is a tool to address our housing crisis, new research from @Kennedy_School shows that accompanying incentives & more are critical to ensuring such a policy doesn't backfire. Read more about why IDP could harm, not help the housing shortage.

Our research into inclusionary housing efforts in Revere and Lynn suggests that inclusionary zoning policies are likely to produce only modest impact and risk backfiring unless they are carefully...

“Given the current economic climate, NAIOP is grateful that the administration recognizes that a phased implementation of this increase is the best path forward…” said NAIOP CEO @tamaracsmall in response to the @BostonPlans recent vote to increase linkage rates. #bospoli
Lab developers in Boston could soon have to pay a lot more towards affordable housing.

When an economist uses the phrase "urban doom loop," that seems...concerning.
ICYMI - Yesterday, @CommonWealthMag delved into what an empty downtown may mean for Boston's property tax revenue (which sustains a majority of the City Budget). Our CEO @tamaracsmall, provided critical market context. Read here! #bospoli #cre

What an inspiring speech by @MassGovernor today! This is a leader who is focused on economic competitiveness and working with the business community to produce housing, advance equity, create jobs, and make MA an even better place to live and work.

A few moments ago, Massachusetts shattered yet another glass ceiling by swearing in Governor @maura_healey and Lt. Gov @MayorDriscoll. NAIOP looks forward to working with the new Administration and congratulates all of our constitutional officers sworn in today. #mapoli

The latest employer planning to shed office space downtown? State government. https://t.co/Smjpxcmizq via @BostonGlobe @jonchesto

The Baker administration is set to pare back leases for downtown office space, and that has Boston business leaders worried.
