12:39:27	 From  douglasknotts : What is the current housing percentage for low income housing as how it relates to Chapter 40B?  It seems the very large developments are able to circumvent the laws because of our lower than 10% level.
12:39:35	 From  Robert Tuchmann   to   Katy Hax Holmes(Privately) : I think the goals which you have set out are all worthy and necessary to prepare Newton to respond to the needs of the next decades. We must, however, be mindful of the need to preserve unique factors we hare fortunate to have in Newton such as areas which still reflect the styles of the past decades.

12:49:07	 From  Levin : I'm extremely concerned with the re-zoning plan allowing for such a high percentage of multifamily homes.  I did not look to move to Brookline because I wanted single family neighborhoods with my own yard.  On a separate but important point, I also was not able to afford to live in newton in the home I'm in during my early 30s.  That's just life - there are more affordable cities as well (that I have lived in while saving quite hard and working multiple jobs since I was 19) and I'm not sure why we aim to drag newton down (both potentially economically and traffic wise) but taking away single family zoning.
12:53:04	 From  Katy Hax Holmes : -	[3] What concerns you about Zoning Redesign?
12:56:07	 From  Seth Stier   to   Katy Hax Holmes(Privately) : we also need to take into account the increase housing and how that impacts traffic, schools and other city services.
12:57:34	 From  Seth Stier   to   Katy Hax Holmes(Privately) : Once the analysis is done and accepted. Local Historic Districts should not be allowed to be established.
13:03:00	 From  Diane Pruente : With the current rezoning design, it seems that going forward Newton will become quite a bit denser and have more of an urban feeling rather than suburban.
13:03:06	 From  Robert Tuchmann   to   Katy Hax Holmes(Privately) : Deb, I’d be happy to participate with a committee or group if you feel i could add to the discussion.
13:12:42	 From  Diane Pruente : The least expensive apartment at Trio (Wash St and Walnut St) is 596 sq ft and rents for $2,160 according to their website.  The is small, but still expensive.  How will we insure that there will be housing that is not so expensive?
