As the University forges ahead with construction in Allston, some residents said they are worried about how the new projects â the Enterprise Research Campus and a development at 180 Western Ave. â will impact neighborhood stability and affordability.
Anthony P. DâIsidoro â a member of the Harvard-Allston Task Force and president of the Allston Civics Association â said that affordable home ownership is among his chief concerns.
Allston has a reputation of being a âtransient community,â where people come for education and then move out to the suburbs to buy a home, according to DâIsidoro.
He said he hopes new developments will help âreverse these negative trendsâ and provide more âstabilityâ in Allston.
