Newton is better described as a collection of a half dozen villages each with a different vibe and co$t. It is polynuclear in a way that many other suburbs are not. Amenities in one are not found in another. Transit and walkability is also highly varied. Used to live there as a renter but could not afford to purchase there.

Imho this is about creating new or transformed properties in a town that is not getting any larger, so as to get more profitable results for the builder/developer. The goal is to attract people in that market moving to the region and to dissuade them from equivalently priced properties in Newton or equivalent north/south shore places.
