The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court is currently deliberating on the enforcement authority of the state regarding the MBTA Communities Law, which mandates increased housing density near mass-transit facilities. The case, brought by the town of Milton, challenges the state's guidelines issued in 2021. The high court appeared divided on whether these guidelines were properly issued. The attorney general is pushing for Milton to comply with the 2021 zoning law, making this Milton housing case a closely-watched matter.
