BOSTON – Boston's pipeline to create affordable housing last year reached its highest level since record-keeping began, according to City Hall, which also said more than 28,000 city households would qualify for the units if enough existed.
Even so, the city said the proportion of housing that is classed as "affordable" is higher than any other major city in the country, at 19 percent.
BOSTON – Fare hikes and other actions proposed for the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority will be the focus of 10 public meetings set to gather input from people across Greater Boston.
The meetings will take place through Feb. 11 to give the public a chance to voice their concerns, objections or support for consideration by the transit agency's Fiscal and Management Control Board and the state Transportation Department. The control board is expected to vote on actions it may take to help close a budget gap of more than $240 million.
