Cambridge has more sex before 7am than Holden does in a week.

Cambridge has more worthwhile things to do. Holden is a place you go to once you inherit your dad’s business and sell it to someone…a place to give up on life.

Cambridge Public Schools test higher than Holden.

There are more BMWs and Ferraris registered in Cambridge than in Holden.

The disparity and falsehoods that you are describe makes me want to make a virgin holden vs chad cambridge meme.

Edit: Made the meme

🥱

Rules are made to be changed at the behest of a mob!

Pat backs now, get rent control back later

Yeah IIRC there’s actually a new movement to create “walkable” stadium areas in the US because of the additional revenue generated for restaurants and bars in the area (sometimes owned by the same owner as the team). I think Detroit did that recently with most of their professional sports, not sure if it’s caught on elsewhere though

Random guy on the internet takes nonsense at face value.

The New Central Square Church on 3 Magazine is and will be a asset to Cambridge. Open for less than a year and with a diverse,younger and faithful demographic CSC hopes to make a positive contribution.

Lol. It’s not taking away the ability to have a parking space. It’s now just not forcing one upon you.

I mean if Life Alive wants to close (and stop opening new stores in every goddamn corner of the city) I'd be fine with that.

even then a lot of the time the requirements are way too generous and we end up with acres of parking near stadiums that could be housing.

in the uk and eu people put stadiums near well built homes all the time.

It isn't a big deal.

But the big thing is with parking requirements the builders and owners can't pick less parking, they have to build to build a home or whatever.

It should be by choice, not forced.

Aaaaand this city just became trash for disabled people.

Edit: Why did I think it would be a good idea to come to a Boston-area Reddit sub and post a diverging opinion, even though it was completely heartfelt.

SLAY KING

I’ll move to Cambridge without a car if the housing is affordable. No reason to own a car if I can walk take public transit to everything I need.

Random guy on the Internet thinks something is preposterous based off of a personal anecdote. 🤡

>way more zoning relief is still needed

This. And, way more fixing public transportation. By and large, it stinks right now. And that may be kind.

Please point out where I said I was upset about it. LOL. Talk about clowning.

As for their claim, I stand by it being preposterous as anyone who spends a meaningful amount of time in Cambridge - with or without a car - knows.

u/RealBurhanAzeem please put this explanation in the top post! And nice work :D

A good case where I’m in favor of less government regulation.

On a case-by-case basis, maybe it’ll make sense for a city to mandate parking spots in certain areas (near stadiums, park&ride transit lines etc), but no need for excessive red tape that forces small businesses to develop their own land - at their expense - in a way that doesn’t fit the needs of their business and customers.

If a business needs parking to accommodate their customers, go for it, but if not, it shouldn’t be forced on them and the community.

Maybe not disappear, but vehicles have been reducing in number over the past two decades in Cambridge, even as the population and employment grows. Mode share is shifting to walking, biking, and transit, and it’s a good thing.

Well done Burhan!

Then you should be in favor of measures that reduce the number of cars on the road, right?

Woohoo! Great job!
