Why People Are Taking Action
Residents across Massachusetts are coming together because they are concerned about:
- Rising property taxes
- Lower home values
- Reduced housing supply
- Loss of local control
“Everyone agrees housing costs are too high, but this ballot proposal isn’t a real solution. Rent control will raise property taxes and reduce home values at a time when families can least afford it. This proposal may sound simple, but the consequences are not.”
