Question: What are you doing to increase development so that supply is increased and rents are reduced? This tax measure is a nice bandaid but it doesn't address the true issue of affordability due to a lack of supply for both buyers and renters. What are you doing to address that?

My answer:
Reddit comment from Mayor Wu: Thanks for the question. The City is working hard to encourage smart development, particularly the housing we need to address affordability and to grow. Over the past four years, 5,635 income-restricted housing units have been completed in Boston or are in construction, more than any other comparable time period going back a generation. Our office-to-residential conversion program, which offers a 75% tax reduction for 29 years, is already generating new homes in Downtown. The City created a $110M Housing Acceleration Fund to help boost construction starts and recently passed thee first new zoning in decades for Downtown Boston, to prioritize housing and density.
