CAMBRIDGE CITYWIDE CALL TO ACTION!

Citywide up-zoning is reshaping every   Cambridge   neighborhood.
Learn the facts! and   get involved!!  
Cambridge's mature tree canopy, historic homes, climate resilience,  neighborhood livability, and infrastructure capabilities are at stake.

Cambridge needs more housing that people can afford while protecting mature trees, reducing flooding, and preserving the neighborhoods people love. 

What we don't need is the demolition of existing  relatively affordable housing for  far more expensive luxury homes.
Councillor   Cathie   Zusy is leading the effort to call for changes to the city upzoning.
Watch   her recent   social media   video   here: 
Zusy writes on this social media post: "The flawed Multifamily Housing ordinance (MFH) is actively destroying the fabric of our neighborhoods. This morning at 214 Allston St., a perfectly good 2-family home that provided critical housing for middle income residents was needlessly torn down. It will be replaced with 2 luxury townhouses that the developer says will each sell for $2.5m or more. This is a complete betrayal of the MFH's intent. We need to amend the ordinance now."
CCC: Who We Are:      We are activists and regular residents who have joined together to make our city more livable, affordable, sustainable, and accountable.
CCC,    formerly Cambridge Citizens Coalition - now with a new name that reflects our citywide focus - is a 501c4 organization.
