Dear Friends,

As residents, we have a major stake in what happens in our city, both for ourselves and for future residents. Our city is now facing severe threats on various fronts - resident displacement, lack of affordability in housing, the environment, over development, dis-functional governance, and more. Neither the City Council nor the City Management seems to be able or willing to address this, even though by area and national standards we are a very wealthy city. We are facing displaced tenants as their buildings are sold to make way for luxury buildings or developments, our own friends and children are no longer able to rent or purchase homes here. As density increases throughout the City, we are further diminishing our threatened tree canopy and limited green space.

Cambridge, founded in 1630, is one of the oldest planned cities in America. Its history, and the legacy of its rich architecture matters - whether we are talking about workers cottages or more elite residences, work places, or one time battlegrounds. It is important that we retain a key part of our Cambridge past not only for residents and visitors to enjoy today, but also so that newcomers to the city in the centuries that follow will be able to enjoy it as well. As as one of the ten (10) most densely populated cities in the country, and one with hundreds of new units already added every year under existing rules, Cambridge needs smart growth, not a modern-day land rush that displaces current tenants and and promotes the destruction of our neighborhoods. Do we want to lose our historic architectural legacy too. As density increases throughout the City, we are further diminishing our threatened tree canopy and limited green space. The DEIA petition will further exacerbate this problem.

Please learn more about CCC and sign-up for the rally in opposition to the proposed up-zoning of Cambridge to add more luxury (market rate) housing in the city.

This rally will take place on the lawn in front of City Hall on June 17 at 5:00 PM

The time is now! We urge everyone in Cambridge to learn more about the potentially devastating issues facing our city! Our future is in all our hands. Please join us by signing this petition and joining our effort.
