davis_squareRecently, I received a letter in the mail from Neraj Tuli of Zone Smart Somerville (www.zonesmartsomerville.org). The letter was urging me to oppose a provision in the proposed zoning changes which would prohibit occupancy of a house or unit by more than four unrelated adults regardless of the size of the house or unit or other mitigating factors. Does anyone know anything about this? I believe I am opposed to this provision, but would like to learn more.

So an apartment for five people has to have a minimum of 550sf; not terribly difficult.)
