Low And Medium Income Housing -- Increase In Density Or ....

Support With Reservation

Increased density is a question that each neighborhood needs to answer for itself. When a neighborhood chooses to increase density, it deserves compensation from the developer in the form of public goods that benefit the whole community, and I strongly support the principle that mitigation funds should benefit the affected community first and foremost. I'm proud that Cambridge has led the way on sustainable urban growth, combining robust public transportation with incentives for green construction techniques and energy efficiency, and I will keep pushing developers to ensure that all new projects conform to the highest of both environmental and labor standards. Cambridge offers clean, green streets, outstanding educational opportunities, and the lowest property taxes in the commonwealth, and I hope to keep fighting to keep our city affordable for all families.
