General Urban Cambridge Updates and Rumours

(Thought I’d correct that for you)

It's not just local cranks. The reason you rarely hear about individuals or groups that proactively advocate for and educate others in favour of change, progress and new development because the vast majority of people in Cambridge don't want it. Likewise, it's not The Record and other local news outlets having a vendetta against development and thus publish more stories amplifying the voices of NIMBYs or anything like that either. They publish these articles because it's what most people in Cambridge think.

Maybe one day the culture will shift, but it doesn't appear that'll happen any time soon. Homes will become scarcer and employment options stagnate. It'll either get to the point people wake up and seek change, or they'll continue to Complainbridge while the rest of the region subsidizes them.
