By Sal Giarratani A s a community activist for needed aff ordable housing in our communities, I supported such housing for Charlestown 42 years ago as a member of the Charlestown Economic Development Corporation. Every time I drive down Main Street there, I view that long roll of townhouses that I played a role in creating. Back in 1982, it off ered many within the community to become fi rsttime homeowners. All the townhouses were aff ordable and all the townhouses blended right in with all the other housing surrounding them, As I read the March 29th news story on the proposed townhouses at the Sons of Italy site, I was skeptical of the overwhelming support from numerous city councilors who think this housing proposal is a godsend. Is it? I need to know much more about the prices of these townhouses before falling in love with the idea of it all. One city councilor thought getting nine two-bedrooms, two bathrooms and two parking spots for townhouses was far better than getting 30 residential units. Would these nine townhouses really off er a more aff ordable opportunity for Revere residents and families? Maybe, maybe not, but that hasn’t stopped the Ward 4 councilor from being in full support of this new housing development. Sometimes it might be time to slow down things, this might be one of those times. Too often we have seen projects rushed. I have known that this site is currently underused. I knew sooner or later a developer would come along, but without a real aff ordable component to this project, city councilors need to put on the brakes. Work for the best deal possible. You may only get one chance to get it right. Politicians should never make it too easy for any developer. They need you more than you need them. Make sure this housing plan really is a pathway to homeownership. If I’m gonna lose one of my favorite eateries, it better be for good affordable housing opportunities for Revere families trying to stay in the City they love. 1.
