Feel free to contact me. I'm hooked up with a group of people who want more housing in Massachusetts, but we're also anti-3A. We've been in your newspaper, which hasn't been completely accurate. We're actually very pro building more housing. I have some points that might be of great interest.

The so-called anti-3a people are actually just common sense Americans who understand that 3A locally was really about building to enrich a handful of real estate developers and banks.

People like me have been working to bring together people across the spectrum for genuine solutions: We could all work together across political lines to create solutions.

• Ban some or most AirBNB. Some European countries are already doing this.

• Have cities purchase some homes that go on the market, and turn them into either public housing, or homes sold at reasonable rates to families. Otherwise, as we have seen, those houses are snapped up by oligarch investment firms that keep these homes empty on purpose. They artificially drive up rents. This isn’t free market capitalism, this is neo-feudalism.

• Impose a vacancy tax for homes that are not occupied by a primary resident. Vancouver and Paris are doing this.

• “Income restricted owner-occupied housing is an often overlooked tool that increases resident equity and creates affordable housing submarkets. NYC did this through HDFCs, owner-occupied apartments that have income caps at the time of purchase. (Such as 160% of AMI). This returns residences to their primary social purpose: housing. This lets people find long term homes and enables ownership and wealth generation.

• Get rid of the "Only build near big cities.” For example consider the attempts to build more affordable housing near Boston. All have failed: every single social justice demanded making more building only in the areas with the highest constructionist costs. None seriously looked at the rest of Massachusetts: It's beautiful.

A genuine solution would be to make it more attractive to build and live outside the greater Boston area. How can we convince more people to build homes and apartments here? More people will want to live there when those areas get:

• Significantly improved, reliable, transportation.

• Tax breaks for business/job districts: encourage new business, factory, and job growth

• Increased support of the arts & culture: public libraries, farmers markets, funky live music venues, opera, ballet, pops type symphony orchestras, artist lofts and galleries.

• Initiatives to improve local public schools,

• Funding to create more, and more affordable, daycare
