The CHC member asked whether the *discussion* should be limited to commission members only. She did not seem to want to close the meeting to the public.

Since Cambridge has recently removed other opportunities for discretionary design reviews and consequent legal threats, NCDs tasked with keeping select areas as they were in the 19th century are drawing attention as remaining bastions of systemic segregation.

The best part is that fewer building permit applications will be subject to discretionary review and accompanying threats and lawsuits. A great move by Cambridge!

Great news! There's no way Milton should've been allowed to get away with what they were trying to do. I hope the AG has letters to other recalcitrant cities and towns ready to go out.

The biggest barrier to getting Cambridge the housing it so badly needs is our own local zoning code. For at least a half-century, it has favored large, expensive single family homes and blocked or delayed less expensive, more sustainable multi-family buildings.

The anti-MFZ mudslinging brigade must be throwing harder. (What else can one do without facts or logic?) Previous worst I’d seen was the claim that allowing more housing construction was like handing out eviction notices to low income households.
