I don’t know the situation. I do know that if you are getting priced out in NB there isn’t much within an hour that’s cheaper without paying/earning compromises. I hope things work out for you.

There are more Asians and Middle Eastern populations and almost the same percentage Black 6.5 (fr)vs 6.7(nb). Twice the percent~20%(nb) vs ~10% (fr) for Hispanic population. Fall River also exceeds NB with Portuguese residents who if you look back are often the brunt of discrimination though not to compare their treatment to non European Hispanics. If you look at major suburban numbers like Dartmouth or Fairhaven they are actually pretty disturbing.

Yeah I mean what will stabilize affordable rents? It’s not going to be less housing or jobs, and if one of the solutions is more housing the minor cities like New Bedford, Fall River, Brockton, Taunton etc. are the fastest route to more housing. It would take years in court to try and force the wealthy suburbs to get rid of their NIMBY policies.

Yeah it makes it a better place to live and unlike the suburban towns New Bedford has the right zoning to actually get more investment in affordable housing, which could help out everyone in the area. Either way I don’t think you are going to avoid rising rents by wishing away housing demand. I hope you get into a better housing situation if yours is an issue right now.
