The stuff at the end about deposits was really interesting and honestly could deserve an entire dedicated episode

Please elaborate

Omgggg

Probably because of Fulop’s veto (which is why I initially posted about it)

Congrats on being the world’s best tourist I guess?

Unfortunately our quaint traditional regional codes don’t result in quaint regional architecture — process like this of it ever came up would be a great time to advocate for natural building materials or whatever else

I wonder how much of the concerns are in response to tall towers with sheet glass facades (in which case I’m assuming your recommendation wouldn’t really apply? But idk)

This is the group that put together the original petition

And the rational way to promote housing affordability and more IZ units would be to allow a million times more density that is currently allowed, but that’s not what happens

From what I can tell, the only way Cambridge’s program is “funded” is through density bonuses. It’s zoning and artificial scarcity all the way down

Too early to declare the zoning bill fully dead imo. I think they will manage to get at least duplexes citywide 🤞
