I really appreciate everything you write on the city's budget. I'd be excited to read more on where the money comes from + the impact of new development, versus what major infrastructure obligations we have coming due in the future

Some people who are affiliated with SHC were there, but as far as I can tell they were not asked to speak

A correction, I'm the person who asked the final question about the zoning change to allow the expansion of the existing homeless shelter in Davis.
I'm not affiliated with SHC (just a random guy), but I was inspired by the meeting to sign up to volunteer

Is there some weird double inflation adjustment going on there? Housing costs / income has obviously gone up, but those numbers don't seem right:

Oh, hi Itamar! I'm a former ABC member (now across the border), we briefly met a few times.

2/3 of the city is NR (max = triple decker). IZ kicks in at 4 units, and is 20%. Also, the first unit is set at a deeply affordable rate / the highest subsidy, so my understanding is you want to encourage ~10 units to get appreciable development.

Also true! I think AHMA is working on single-stair, but that's a state level thing.
Per Chris's hyper-local focus, Somerville can raise taxes and build our own social housing... But that's tough because of prop 2.5.
Or, we can change our zoning to encourage apartments

Yeah, I suppose that's not too different than the stand-up bit about shooting off a bunch of guns to keep the rent down. Not exactly my preferred approach!

Necessary but insufficient is totally right.
I'd love to see Somerville figure out how to get more development that triggers inclusionary zoning. Building subsidized housing is expensive, and our 20% IZ seems like our most available tool for getting it

Two positive memories: you helped me get my bike, which I adore!
And hanging out after the 2021 Cambridge election and getting excited about the results.

Now that Vaughn Grissom has sort of been a bust with both Atl and the Sox, is there any hope can he reclaim his value in AAA? Or will he have to show it in the majors? Also, I assume his chances to make the team are Bad?

They have all the masa colors to do 4th of July Tacos!
For anyone looking for tips: Masienda's masa tastes 10% better than grocery store masa, but I find it to be twice as hard to work with.
For trouble with sticking: use hot water, aim for a slightly dryer dough, and let it rest before pressing
