Jeff Wachter

Jeff Wachter (he/him) lives in Brookline Village with his wife and 3 children (a Kindergartener and 3rd grader at Pierce, and a preschooler). He has a Master’s in history, focusing on 20th century American cities, previously worked as an urban policy researcher, and currently works in finance and operations at a commercial real estate company. His academic and independent research have continually shown the inequity inherent in our urban land use policies, leading to his interest in using zoning reform and housing policy as a tool to address some of the structural challenges Brookline and the Boston metro area face today. Jeff is a board member and treasurer of Brookline Community Development Corporation, a member of the Washington Street Complete Streets Design Review Committee, and a former Precinct 11 Town Meeting Member.
