>From the Twitter thread, I can infer the transportation expert's solution and Lincoln's lack of participation in that solution. Something like:
*Towns within commuting distance of Boston -- already served by railway-- should have more housing near the train station to accommodate public transportation. Lincoln is one of those towns and it's not doing its part supported by data galore: census, pastoral photos, house prices, min zoning etc. * But, I don't think we're clear (or at least confounding) the "Lincoln" problem statement across 3 topics: - *Public Transportation*: Boston is a growing city and should leverage its rail network. --> Lincoln should do its part. Assuming the solution to urbanization is *still* on better accommodating bedroom communities vs. encouraging more city living. - *Population decline*: Lincoln's population is shrinking unlike many other towns in MA --> Something is rotten in the town of Lincoln. - *Affordable housing*: We need more affordable housing in MA --> Lincoln is not mobilizing *materially* around this issue.
