People have been putting up bullshit signs in our neighborhood, and I'm worried that these anti-affordable-housing assholes are going to win because they're bigger cranks than normal people. I don't have it me to flyer a neighborhood, sadly.
So, as a half-measure, I wrote to the city council.
Hi. I'm a homeowner in North Cambridge.
In light of signs appearing in our neighborhood implying the "danger" of affordable housing coming to our neighborhood, we want to say that we welcome everyone in our neighborhood, including people who qualify for affordable housing.
Further, I am in favor of the affordable apartment building being proposed to be built in the Walden Square parking lot. I urge you to do everything you can to make it happen.
We desperately need housing for people that aren't rich here. We don't want to live in a monoculture, and it is an injustice to make a city exclusive to people that can make a $3K rent.
