"Housing is the biggest issue facing every district in Boston. The Boston Zoning Commission and Boston Planning & Development Agency boards are appointed positions. The Mayor and City Council should only appoint and confirm those who will allow Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) by right throughout the city, increase build by right zoning as well as removing parking minimums, and remove officials who won't. We have to increase housing, and we must take bold action today."
"I am a regular working class person with a unique lived experience. I have no political ties, and I feel those of us in this category are severely underrepresented. Yes. It is time to follow through on the issues that matter most to us. We are seeing some of the most hateful legislation imaginable passing with ease throughout this country, and it's finally time we do that for the good stuff too. That means no more incrementalism, we need bold moves now."
Ben Weber has represented District 6 on the City Council since 2024 and did not submit responses. Steven Berry challenges Weber for District 6. Berry identifies housing as the biggest issue facing every Boston district and calls for citywide by-right Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs), increased build-by-right zoning, elimination of parking minimums, and removal of officials who block those changes. Berry emphasizes urgent, bold action to increase housing rather than incremental steps. Berry describes himself as a regular working-class person with no political ties and says people like him are severely underrepresented. Berry asserts that the public has lost faith in the City Council and calls for decisive reforms.
