OVERVIEW

After many years in which it was effectively illegal to build new triple-deckers in Somerville, any homeowner can now add a third unit to their property. Somerville City Councilor Matt McLaughlin and Jesse Kanson-Benanav of Abundant Housing join CommonWealth Beacon‘s Jennifer Smith to discuss the past, present, and future of the triple-decker and its contribution to affordable housing in Massachusetts.
