Where? When? How, and with what money? Whose money?
Bluntly put: it just could not happen. Period. Not won't, not shouldn't: it just cannot happen.
And why should so much money and effort be spent to provide housing for a very small subset of people that cannot afford housing? Why should it be spent on housing they OWN, instead of housing they rent? Why should it be spent on housing that may (or may not) remain affordable into the future?

By what metric of success? Affordability in MA has scarcely improved in the 41 years of 40B, and remarkably little of that can be laid at the feet of 40B.
