Massachusetts voters weighed a measure that would require cities and towns to allow single-family homes on qualifying residential lots of at least 5K sq-ft.
Qualifying Massachusetts lots would also need at least 50 feet of street frontage and access to public sewer and water services under the measure.
The measure was narrowly ahead with ~80% of votes counted; the result remained uncertain at that point in the Massachusetts vote count.
A Massachusetts housing advocate said large minimum lot requirements increase building costs, which builders recoup by constructing larger homes on expensive land.
Experts said the Massachusetts measure could gradually improve affordability by adding smaller, less expensive homes to the market over time if approved.
