Newton for Everyone Event: How Housing Scarcity is Costing Massachusetts Political Power

When: Thursday, September 24, 7pm
Where: Congregation Dorshei Tzedek, 60 Highland Street, West Newton
Virtual Option Available

Since 1970, our state has gone from 12 to 9 House seats, resulting in less representation in Congress and a reduced voice in the Electoral College. And we’ll likely lose another in the 2030 census. Why are people leaving Massachusetts? Among many reasons, housing availability is the most significant.

BU Professor Maxwell Palmer will connect the dots between local housing policy, demographic shifts, and national politics. If you’re unhappy with the current direction of the state’s influence in national politics, housing reform is a way to take concrete, meaningful action locally.
