Nobscot Housing Plan Keeps Shrinking as Framingham Council Weighs Rezoning
A long-debated housing proposal for a roughly 30-acre swath of Framingham's Nobscot neighborhood has shrunk again, with the latest version calling for between 325 and 350 units — down from an earlier 416-unit plan that itself followed concepts once contemplated at more than 1,000 potential units back in 2024. The Planning and Zoning Subcommittee discussed the scaled-back proposal on November 9, but has not finalized a unit count, leaving the project in limbo even as one councilor pushes to speed things along.

City streets projects, after a hiccup, taking shape. But advocates remain cautious.
On a damp weekday morning near a school crossing in Jamaica Plain, traffic did not so much flow as hesitate. A parent shifted a backpack higher on one shoulder and waited for a gap that never quite felt wide enough. The signal changed. The cars kept coming. Scenes like that have become the quiet background to a larger argument about pace, trust, and unfinished work. After a pause that left neighborhood groups unsure what would move and what would wait, Boston streets projects are taking shape again under interim leadership. The question on the sidewalk is no longer only whether the city intends to act. It is whether the next months will look different from the last ones.

A nurses' strike is averted, while a lack of urgency prevails on Beacon Hill
With less than eight hours to spare, Brigham and Women's Hospital nurses and Mass General Brigham late Wednesday managed to avert a potentially historic open-ended strike. Divided over cost-of-living increases, limits on temporary travel nurses and health insurance contributions, the parties negotiated for hours Monday and made "some progress" — but not enough to call off the strike. Even as Gov. Maura Healey and Boston Mayor Michelle Wu stopped by the session and called on the sides to strike a deal, it seemed likely thousands of nurses would end up streaming through Longwood Medical Area by 7 a.m. Thursday. No additional talks were scheduled.
