Even a starter home remains out of reach for most first-time homebuyers in and around Boston. Based on data contained in the recently released 2026 Greater Boston Housing Report Card, just 17% of renter households earn enough to afford a typical single-family home in one of the region’s lower-priced communities.

Warren Floats Selling Town Buildings to Buy Old Guard Site

Warren could buy the former National Guard building on Market Street by matching a $610,000 auction bid. Officials said the town's 30-day window is expected to open after a state board meets Nov. 24. The new council, set to be sworn in next month, would make the call. Ideas discussed included selling the Main Street building that houses Head Start, possibly to the program's operator for housing and the program, and eventually selling the Miller Street rescue station. Officials said a $2 million grant is a reimbursement for a rescue station, not cash in hand. No vote was taken.

YOUR VIEW: Canty speech ‘disrespectful, demeaning and judgmental’

Along with other residents of West Plymouth, I attended the Select Board meeting on November 10, 2026. I live very close to the huge 392-apartment, 40B proposal by developer Rick Vayo, which the Select Board summarily voted to approve on a fast track, and to send a prepared Memorandum of Agreement and Support letter to the state housing agency, with no residents of the area present at the meeting.

Johnston voters rejected eminent domain plan. Town says fight isn't over

JOHNSTON – On Nov. 3, voters in Johnston rejected a ballot measure to amend the town's charter to create a coherent pathway to exercise eminent domain, in response to a federal judge's rejection of attempts to take land slated for an income-restricted apartment complex. Despite that rejection, the Town Council president said the council will be going forward with plans to use eminent domain to take the 31-acre site off of George Waterman Road , relying on an alternative method following the defeat of the charter amendment at the ballot box. U.S. District Judge Melissa DuBose ruled that the town's attempt to take property via its charter doesn't work, because the charter doesn't have sufficient provisions to pass constitutional muster, in an ongoing lawsuit filed by the property owners against the town, which the owners' lawyers call a "sham taking." The ballot initiative failed, 54% to 46%, or 4,761 votes against to 4,090 votes for, according to unofficial vote counts. In Johnston, 9,894 people voted , 41% of the 24,015 registered voters. What Johnston needs, either in its charter or for another process, per the federal judge who rejected the initial eminent domain efforts following a lawsuit by the site
