Massachussets has a law that enables developers to bypass zoning restrictions if they are helping bring low income housing to an area: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massachusetts_Comprehensive_Pe...

I think it's sometimes used to threaten local zoning boards to capitulate to other developer demands, but it does contribute somewhat to the supply of affordable housing.
