Reply to comment by fun_guy02142 in Cambridge completely eliminated parking minimums yesterday!! by RealBurhanAzeem

I'm talking to YOU, now. I was BORN, RAISED in Cambridge until chased out.

If you did nothing to STOP those landowners, you are part of the problem.

Schools closed, and now Parking Spaces is how you fix the problem? Seriously? Again... Pat backs now. And if you aren't renting, you need to hush.

Cambridge has a greater percentage of affordable housing than just about any other city in Massachusetts

I’m sorry you couldn’t afford to keep living here, but rent control wasn’t the solution.

"Affordable Housing"? Affordable to whom? The people that worked at NECCO?

Lol

Another clueless, and condescending person that moved to Cambridge. You UNCambridge when you bring your ideas and impose them on us. NOW... go research George Rothman.

This is the cringiest thing I’ve read all week. Literally no one gives a fuck how long you’ve lived in Cambridge and it has nothing to do with whether rent control is a good idea.

Cringe away, Columbus🦥. It does have everything to do with me being here long enough to know that rent control was working, it was greedy landowners that screwed it up, and the people suffered because of it... (History is repeating itself, hardcore) Rent control kept people in the city modest. Alice Wolf never would have approved this... We're all fake excited about your new found generational wealth, but trying to exact your will onto the people of Cambridge just because you got a little piece of a $200,000 house which is now a million dollars - nobody is fooled by your antics except for people like you!
