Congrats to new city councilors:
@realBurhanAzeem and
@PFToner

It's another pro-housing supermajority with re-electeds:
- @Ammallon
- @MarcGov
- @MayorSiddiqui
- @E_DeniseSimmons

Sad that @VoteJivan won't return (this term). He, @VoteToniaHicks + @PopsMcGuirk made us proud

yikes, all sounds too familiar @ABetterCAF @ABetterCambMA / "in a city that sometimes seems like it has more Black Lives Matter signs than actual Black people, you’d think the case for change would resonate."

"our priority is to build housing – especially affordable, transit-oriented, sustainable housing – that provide more people with an opportunity to live here. 2072 is an example of how flaws in current zoning policies limit progressive, inclusive development" @ABetterCambMA

[Banker & Tradesman @BankerTradesman]

The developers behind a contentious Cambridge affordable housing building are rethinking their plans after withdrawing their 48-unit proposal just days ahead of a crucial zoning board vote.

crazy grateful to be back in cambridge...BUT @CambHousing and @Cambridge_CF research show how many are unable to stay / move back to their home city (21,000+). we need to build more affordable homes!

love this - for folks renting out airbnbs (or universities w/o students on campus...) can we incentivize long-term rentals to income-qualified residents?
