I have a question for folks who don’t support the project at 28 Austin Street because they don’t believe it does enough to address Newton’s affordable housing needs.

If that’s so,  then why do all of the city’s the affordable housing experts support this proposal?

Need another example: Read this. Still dubious: Go here. More: Here you go. A financial perspective? Read this.

And here’s a summary of the situation from the alderman who has been most committed to addressing this issue.

If you’re still sure you know more than the experts who dedicated years to this issue, the cynic in me suspects you’re really just using the affordable argument to fortify a different reason why you don’t support the project.  But please convince us otherwise in the comments section.
