Powerful letter to reflect on before you go to vote. Many candidates are running to roll back the progress Cambridge has made - they are explicitly pro-exclusionary zoning. A vote for ABC's pro-housing slate will help Cambridge go forward, not back. www.cambridgeday.com/2025/11/03/c...
I’m proud that our city has faced the resulting housing crisis realistically, and with an eye to equity and sustainability. Cambridge started with the 100% Affordable Housing Overlay, which has opened new opportunities for lower-cost housing, with over 800 homes in the pipeline.

This year, Cambridge passed a Multi-family Zoning Ordinance – a landmark law that received national attention as it created possibilities for multi-family housing citywide. Among the results of the lowered barriers in this law:

    a 4-unit lot in mid-Cambridge will become home for 30 households;
    a one-story retail building with three stores near Porter, fixed at that size and use since 1894, can now become three stores plus 71 homes;
    a deteriorating historic structure near Harvard Sq. is on track to be restored and maintained because it can share its large lot with housing and a small hotel.

Cambridge accomplished all this with planning, deliberation and resident involvement, although not everyone’s policy preferences could be adopted. I expect there will be much more to come as we work our way out of the long-term housing shortage.

This is what some Council candidates want to repeal. We’ve seen what happens when conservatives try to take their country back. Some of our local conservatives have announced their intention to take our city back – to the exclusionary policies from the last century.

To keep Cambridge on an equitable and inclusionary path, I’m voting for the slate endorsed by A Better Cambridge: Burhan Azeem, Dana Bullister, Mark McGovern, Ned Melanson, Sumbul Siddiqui, Denise Simmons, Jivan Sobrinho-Wheeler, and Ayesha Wilson. For Cambridge’s sake, I hope you will, too.

If you care about how our government functions, your voice matters this November 4. This is especially true for local elections: only 1/3 of registered voters turn out, so there are few opportunities when your vote matters more. cambridgecharter.substack.com/p/only-13-of...

#cambma Municipal Early Voting started on Saturday. So far less than 1% of registered voters have voted early: 196 on Sat; 163 on Sun, for a total of 359 voters. (As of July there were 40,725 active voters out of 66,539 registered voters. That's probably gone up but the final numbers aren't in.)
