Cambridge Multi-Family Zoning Reform

[thepianoperson]

If Cambridge were to do its proportional share it would need to build 1,050 new housing units. Unfortunately the Cambridge Community Development Department projects that the city is on track to build only 120 new housing units by 2030.

-This doesnt seem right, do they mean only 120 new houses as opposed to apartments?

I think that number is the number of net new developable units in specific zones of the city as calculated by this slide times 0.25% (as it says on slide 10), which yeah seems to be a very narrow estimate of how much is getting built since there’s definitely over 120 net new units currently under construction in the city? They certainly need to be more clear about what they’re trying to say here.
