Milton Residents Reject Multifamily Housing Plans

Voters in Milton, Massachusetts rejected a state-mandated zoning plan that would have allowed for the construction of up to 2,400 new homes in the town, highlighting a sharp divide among residents. The plan, aimed at addressing the housing crisis in Greater Boston, was opposed by many who felt it would unfairly burden certain neighborhoods and lead to increased traffic. The rejection has raised questions about compliance with the state's housing law and sparked debate about the role of government in local zoning decisions.
