In Milton, a critical vote to help ease the housing crisis

For Geoff Wilkinson of Milton, the stakes are clear.

“We’re in a real fight now,” the housing advocate says, “for the future and character of our community.”

For more than a year now, Wilkinson and his allies have been pushing the town to comply with a state law known as the MBTA Communities act, which requires municipalities served by the T to zone for a certain amount of multifamily housing.
