<p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Since we're currently at
11.4 % Affordable on the SHI it's a safe bet that the Town
recognizes the inherent value in affordability, Judi.</font></p>
<p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">The challenge to adopting
new districts at town meeting </font><font size="4"
face="Times New Roman"> in this community </font><font size="4"
face="Times New Roman">can often come down to framing the
argument in beneficial monetary terms. <br>
</font></p>
<p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Years ago our attempt at a
40R adoption failed by only 2 votes at Town Meeting. By the time
we were ready to try adoption again at a subsequent Town
Meeting, the State's incentive funding had dried up.</font></p>
<p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">We lost the carrot. <br>
</font></p>
<p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Not surprisingly, we do not
have a 40R District.</font></p>
<p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">In the aftermath of a
contentious MBTA 3A adoption, until the bruises fade, the
passing of new Zoning Amendments will now entail getting the
citizens to forget the stick EOHLC used to achieve MBTA 3A
adoption, and focusing more on the potential carrots that the
town may receive. </font></p>
<p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">We just went through a Prop
2&1/2 override, so carrot$ could be very helpful.<br>
