On Tuesday, Massachusetts Attorney General Andrea Campbell filed a lawsuit against the Town of Milton for failing to comply with the MBTA Communities Law. The law requires communities within the MBTA's service area to zone for multi-family housing, aiming to increase housing availability and affordability. The lawsuit, which brings the dispute to Massachusetts' highest court, seeks to compel Milton to adhere to state housing regulations. This action highlights the state's dedication to enforcing laws intended to mitigate the housing crisis through more inclusive zoning practices.
