We did a major zoning reform in February. 4 stories by right everywhere, 6 stories if two are deeded affordable.

So many people appreciate what you've done. Resistance requires artists to imagine the possible and name the unnamed.

Take the slow time while your bow is drawn ability. Totally changes the game.

House Homeland Security Panel Advances Controversial Budget Targeting Migrants A GOP-led budget sailed through committee over Democratic warnings of unconstitutional deportations, offshore detention, and mass surveillance.

As he has for years, Pablo Manriquez @migrantinsider.com has been covering the Congressional funding, where Rs are seeking up to 345 billion for immigration enforcement.

DHS's current budget is 90 billion. ICE's share is barely 10 billion

THIS IS THE FIGHT

Former Substack creators say they’re earning more on new platforms that offer larger shares of subscription revenue Former Substack writers who exited the platform in early 2024 are making more money on Beehiiv and Ghost thanks to their fixed pricing models.

Yep. I saved hundreds or even thousands of dollars a month just from switching from Substack to self-hosted Ghost.

I pay a roughly flat $85/month now (~$75 for mailsending, $10 for hosting), vs. 10% of all my subscription income.

Meet the mild-mannered engineer who’s pushing Cambridge to finally tackle its housing crisis - The Boston Globe Burhan Azeem, a 28-year-old Cambridge city councilor, has helped lead some of the broadest housing reforms that Cambridge, or anywhere else in Massachusetts, has seen in years.

“People support me because I write policies that have a real chance to make a difference in the housing crisis. If I wasn’t doing that, I wouldn’t be doing my job.”

Last year, I laid down the line - it was time to annex Boston and form MegaCambridge.

This year the official conversation begins. I've filed a resolution with City Hall to start proceedings.

Central is already onboard! Posters are going up. You won't miss them.

@cambridgemass.bsky.social has a housing crisis. Yet unaccountable "Neighborhood Conservation Districts" (NCDs) run by the city drastically decrease housing construction and increase down-converted unit losses compared to equivalent parcels outside NCDs.

Ballot initiative requiring your state to form a commission to make recommendations for secession? Or withholding federal tax $$$?

I suspect that any solution will take decades and so the thing to do now is start normalizing much more aggressive steps.

That's a cloaca. You're thinking about a 4 leafed plant the Irish find lucky.

I said that we were an anarcho syndicalist collective, which took it in turns to act as executive officer of the week, decisions of whom were ratified at a biweekly meeting by a simple majority in cases of internal affairs, and a two thirds majority in cases of external affairs.

No kidding when buying a rug the sales guy asked us which one of us wore the pants.

On bikes.

This calls for home grown discourse.

The owners of the Burren are opening a new venue in Porter where Christophers and Toads used to be, so they'll have more square footage even if the Burren is temporarily closed.

Y'all should do Wolves.

It's a buddy comedy with George Clooney and Brad Pitt.

It's pretty bad, but also they're surrounded by girl bosses that insult them and tell them what to do.

I can’t believe it - after years of advocacy, exclusionary zoning has ended in Cambridge.

We just passed the single most comprehensive rezoning in the US—legalizing multifamily housing up to 6 stories citywide in a Paris style

Here’s the details 🧵

@universalhub.com

I'm really excited for the Cambridge City Council meeting tonight!

They're voting on expanding multi-family zoning (4 floors plus the option for 2 more floors of affordable units, in some cases) across the city, as well as improving rules like floor area ratios and setbacks.
