Cape Cod Today recently posted a story regarding a Baker-Polito Celebration of Municipal Housing efforts across the State.

The article contains this reference:  “Newton will create a data transparency toolbox that will model the fiscal impact and economic development opportunities created by new housing development. The data toolbox will support the City’s Washington Street Corridor master planning project, allowing the City to engage residents and stakeholders by modeling various development scenarios in real time. This project will support the creation of 2,500 new housing units, including 325 new affordable housing units.”

That’s seems like an awful  lot of units just for Washington Street.  Thoughts?
