Yeah because we need more 1 bedroom apartments that cost $2,000 a month. How about some low income housing? Maybe cut that Section 8 waitlist down from ~10 years?

Low income housing and condos instead of apartments. Let some residents own the unit and build equity instead of being a renter for life.

All of these new buildings and they’re all rentals pumping money out of Worcester.

Whose gonna pay for that? Over priced condos are the only thing developers are willingly to invest in. Unfortunately that's the future of Worcester.

I mean, you're correct that the city (and state, and beyond, really) absolutely cannot rely on developers to solve the housing crisis. Governments are gonna have to invest in public housing again, and that's all there is to it.
