Pizzaway now open on Washington St
"In today’s world, awareness is key"
"The Turkish proverb reminds us that sometimes we fail to see the bigger picture, allowing ourselves to be swayed by influences that aren’t in our best interest. The axe, cleverly disguised as one of the trees, represents how easy it is to be fooled when we are not paying attention. The lesson is clear: always question who benefits from the choices we make and whether we are being led by wisdom or manipulation.
"In today’s world, awareness is key"
In today’s world, awareness is key. By staying conscious of the systems and influences around us, we can protect ourselves and make decisions that are truly in our best interest. "
The evolution of the supposed "Turkish proverb" (it is not) is an interesting story to read. It is reported to have originated in the Babylonian Talmud. https://quoteinvestigator.com/

| Where can we build? |
The CHD team worked through four project typologies to demonstrate how users can explore the data to identify an initial set of sites to explore that fit regional and community housing priorities.
These slides walk us through Scenario #1: Infill opportunities in neighborhoods with existing residential density

Editor's Note: Yes, the details of the report focus on Western MA. The overall approach is not far off from any other area of MA.
Scenario 1: Infill opportunities in neighborhoods with existing residential density
Scenario 2: Accessory dwelling units near existing infrastructure
Scenario 3: Proactive investments to preserve affordable housing
Scenario 4: Diverse strategies and partnerships in Gateway Cities
