Only in Boston has been clickbait or rage-bait content for some time now. They're not much of a news "outlet" anymore, and post whatever they think will get people to react to their posts on slow news days.

The mute button does wonders

Fair points, and a little hyperbole and a lazy complaint on my part (Monday morning after all). Still useful context on how the rezoning process in Cambridge actually works. My worry is that if we see more of this, people who are even less familiar with the process than myself, who is slightly...

I think it's likely they'll start protesting at every city meeting until this zoning amendment is rescinded if they start to build more of that around those homes. Plenty of nice six-story buildings that you could build. That design is quite bleak..

I'm not sure what kind of contingency you could have, apart from dumping money into emergency overhauls, which nobody wants to do until you have certainty there's no choice but to not scrap.

That's a choppy looking curve...
