To the Honorable Board:
I'm a tenant in Somerville writing in support of inclusionary zoning in the city. As Somerville gentrifies, one of the most successful ways of making sure folks who are middle- or lower-income can stay in the city is through affordable housing. This isn't just about them, though - this is about preserving aspects of Somerville that benefit everyone, like diversity and access. This proposal is an opportunity to be proactive about this issue, and I would urge the planning board to adopt the measure.
Thank you for your consideration in this matter.
Best,
Libby Mahaffy
