- Terrific piece in Cambridge Day by Sam Polzin about the need to build more homes to address by far the biggest challenge facing Cambridge residents—housing affordabilty! www.cambridgeday.com/2025/10/15/b...
- “My partner and I rent an apartment in a Cambridge building that is well over 100 years old. While it’s charming, we would love to move to a better maintained building with more modern amenities.”
- “Yet, we feel trapped in our current location by the lack of budget-friendly options near the friends and businesses that make the city home.”
- “Many Cantabrigians feel similarly to us. In the 2024 Resident Opinion Survey, 46 percent of respondents ranked “affordable housing” as the single most important issue for the city to address.”
- (As an aside, the Day wrote the silly headline. 🙄 The point is obviously not bigger buildings for the sake of bigger buildings, it’s that we need an Abundance approach to address Cambridge’s housing shortage and affordability crisis! 🏘️)Oct 16, 2025 13:35
