Of all the topics planners grapple with, housing is one of the most demanding, and the creation of affordable housing is even more difficult. Everyone needs a roof over their head, but it can be an expensive proposition and adding to the housing supply in communities can be brutally challenging for a number of reasons. In this episode of unPlanned, we talk to two people who have plenty of experience getting new projects permitted and completed in a variety of contexts. Sean Hope and Jesse Kanson-Benanav walk us through exactly what's involved and share information about projects in Cambridge and Sudbury, MA and why we need to revamp our zoning laws in the state. It's a fascinating look into one of the most basic of all human needs.
