Most housing in Somerville, and lots of the urban northeast, is made up of multistory apartments (sometimes referred to as "three deckers")

- cortesoft 6y agoYou can always build higher!
- jefftk 6y agoI see, you're using "new houses" to mean new buildings, and "new homes" to mean new units.
- toomuchtodo 6y agoAnything over 5 stories gets expensive per sq ft quick.
- jefftk 6y agoEven five stories would let you get about double a density we have today. The typical Somerville home is two full stories and half a third story. If it were legal to build much taller, though, I do think people would be happy to do that next to the subway stations. Yes, the cost goes up, but people are very interested in living right next to the station.
