Dear Editor:
I am amazed that anyone in a position of authority should suggest, let alone consider, a “locals first” policy whereby residents of the North Shore would be given exclusive rights to buy new residential units for the first 60 days.
This is not only discriminatory but impractical if not counter-productive. What would happen if other cities did the same thing? Then, North Shore residents who want to live elsewhere would be prevented from doing so and be forced to stay and pay the high prices that are the problem this proposal is supposed to solve.
