Bloomberg 3/23/21: How to End the War Over the Future of the Suburbs. Look at Wayland, Massachusetts, about 20 miles outside Boston. Trump took just 18% of the vote, but 100% of the town is zoned in concordance with his ideals. Implicit in the town’s bylaws is hostility to change: Land currently used for estates must remain for estates, commercial land must remain commercial. When an affordable housing developer tried to take advantage of a state law that supersedes town bylaws, the town and an organization of unfriendly neighbors succeeded in delaying the development for four years and counting.
