It's called Legalize Starter Homes, and it could change how homes get built across the state. Right now, a lot of towns near Boston require at least an acre of land before you can build a house. This ballot question would let towns allow much smaller lots, as small as 5,000 square feet, so builders can put up smaller, cheaper homes again. Over in Wakefield on Beebe Lane, a 1,548 square foot house sold for $1,000,000 back in April. That's just what almost 30 years of housing prices in Massachusetts looks like.
