Public Transportation Funding: Who Pays, Who Benefits and What's the Impact o...
In 2014 there will potentially be transportation funding and infrastructure ballot measures in several Bay Area Counties. The largest burden of these measures, potentially more than $10 billion over 25 years, will be paid by low income and working class communities.

What happens when these new transit investments follow market rate development and cause increased displacement? Can transportation investments, transit oriented development and equitable development co-exist?

The document discusses sustainable housing goals and strategies for the Metro Boston region. It aims to promote more equitable and affordable housing options, increase production of smaller and transit-accessible units, and prevent displacement. Key strategies include developing regional and local housing plans, increasing affordable housing production, diversifying the housing supply and connecting residents to opportunities. The plan also involves assessing current and future housing needs, targets for production amounts and types, and identifying actions to ensure future needs are met.

This document summarizes the Morgan Woods affordable housing development project on Martha's Vineyard. Some key points:
1) Morgan Woods created 60 affordable housing units, nearly doubling the island's inventory, to house year-round residents who provide essential services but can no longer afford to live there.
2) The development overcame many logistical challenges to transport modular units by barge and complete construction efficiently. Thoughtful design has created a family-friendly community environment.
3) The success of Morgan Woods has helped the developer, The Community Builders, build a strong reputation on the Cape and Islands and take on additional affordable housing projects.

The document discusses housing affordability in the context of the recent housing crisis. It makes three key points:
1) While falling home prices have led to record housing affordability levels, most households entered the downturn already facing high housing costs and few can take advantage of lower prices.
2) Measures of housing affordability and burden show that affordability has only improved to early 2000 levels and many households, especially low- and moderate-income, still face high housing costs.
3) The housing affordability problem is particularly acute in Massachusetts compared to other markets. Most households cannot benefit from lower home prices due to existing high housing cost burdens.

The STAR Community Index is a framework developed by ICLEI-USA to help local governments measure and advance sustainability across the three pillars of environmental, economic and social equity. It provides a standardized rating system for communities to track their performance, identify areas for improvement, and foster competition and innovation around sustainability goals. The STAR Community Index was built with input from over 160 volunteers and has engaged 10 pilot communities to test its tools and online platform.
