@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. dan-sprague.github.io/2025/03/30/ncd

Back on the beat with a story about a dramatic upzoning for Cambridge. It's now legal to build up to four stories, by right, citywide, with an affordable-bonus up for two more stories. How Cambridge leapfrogged every YIMBY reform to build Haussmann for Harvard: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

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 🧵

A big development in Cambridge politics today: At the ordinance committee hearing on ending exclusionary zoning, pro-housing advocates actually outnumbered opponents 38-28. If you know local housing politics, you know how rare this is - especially for a Wednesday at 2pm. Times are changing.
