AI Summary
This bill aims to increase housing production in Massachusetts by establishing a statewide goal of creating 427,000 new housing units by 2040, including 85,400 affordable units. It requires municipalities to allow certain types of multifamily and mixed-use development as-of-right near transit, with no minimum parking requirements. The bill also prohibits municipalities from banning or requiring special permits for accessory dwelling units in single-family residential zones. Additionally, the bill requires state agencies to identify and report on opportunities to redevelop underutilized "greyfield" sites, which may include publicly owned land, for potential housing or mixed-use development.
