@thebostonlol.bsky.social yea, he is bad news. But if we can help Wu win by a good margin, he would be making the case that the people want more bike lanes and fewer cars

Instead of gloating because voters who stayed home are now unhappy, maybe ask why Harris failed to convincingly differentiate herself to those voters on this issue.

@scottsthoughts I kinda feel like "make it convenient to get to MB (ideally without a car)" should be an urban planning goal for Somerville, given how much cheaper it is than anywhere else.

This is in the area where the @cambridgemass.bsky.social just announced that meter rates for street parking would rise to $2 per hour.
At that rate, if the spot (again, worth $917.72 per month) was paid for *every single hour* in the month when meters are on, it would only generate $625-ish.

@bikepedantic.bsky.social maybe we shouldn't be subsidizing resident parking to be less than the cost it takes to mail you the sticker?

Post-facto musings: inclusionary zoning is effectively a tax on developers and new purchasers. This is convenient if you don't want to tax existing property holders.
But there's vastly more existing property than new, so maximizing affordable housing would benefit from taxing all the property.
