Love this! Cambridge has lots of well-paid jobs, great access to parks, retail, restaurants, and other services—but not nearly enough homes for people who want to live there. Legalizing mid rise homes across the city will help more people live near jobs and amenities.

Watching the Oscar nominated animated shorts at E Street is a lovely tradition this time of year. Reliable mix of poignant, beautiful, and weird.

But where will small children and older adults in assisted living be able to park?? Truly a win for common sense in Montana’s parking reform. Ditto for Washington state. Congrats to the elected officials who carried the ball & tenacious advocates who showed up in support!
