This is far better than the 20 units the area zoning would allow. That said, I'd much rather see real density on smaller lots close to transit, than this sort of thing. It's better than 20 mansions, but the car focus of the area just doesn't make for any kind of viable housing expansion. Ironically, it's not a bad area for biking, but the lack of transit is definitely an issue.

Since Newton has chosen to move forward with the plan and picked which developer they are going with it should have its own thread.
