Quote of the Day |
|
“You’ve got to balance how important it is to have the control to say ‘no’ versus getting the housing we need. I think that’s a balancing test every board and commission in Massachusetts, not just on the Vineyard, need to be thinking about.”
—Judi Barrett of Barrett Planning Group on the Vineyard's housing crisis |
