It's strange how #police have such varied views over vehicular violence. I was almost hit by a semi-truck that decided to drive on the sidewalk to get around traffic. I called the #CambMA police with the license plate of the trailer and the US DOT number and the response was that "if an officer didn't see it happen, there's nothing we can do about it." Yet if someone drives a car at a cop, it's fine for them to shoot into the windshield?

Reading the #Nextdoor comments about the #Brattle street bike lane is hilarious. This is apparently the worst thing to happen to #Brattle street since Washington confiscated their mansions. I can only imagine what they'd say if someone tried to build affordable housing in west #CambMA.

It's hard to understand how there can be seemingly no standards for police construction details. I passed a #CambMA police SUV parked blocking the bike lane and half the sidewalk on Trowbridge St this morning as utility work was going on that was blocking the sidewalk on the other side. Don't they ever look at the situation and think "gee, I'm actually making this worse"?

It's weird how #CambMA has an easy way to report A-frame signs, because it is a problem if local businesses, who pay local taxes and provide local jobs, don't go through the proper process use public real estate, but the City gives #Amazon carte blanche to park wherever they feel like, because I guess Jeff Bezos needs a handout?

Just saw the Cambridge DPW tree watering Urban Arrow in the wild for the first time #CambMA

“This year, we built only five housing units. Yes, just five. In a city of 50,000 homes, that’s not 1% or even 0.1%; it’s less than 0.01%. These numbers are not just statistics. They represent a profound failure to keep up with the needs of our community.”

We live in an already exceedingly noisy human society. Is it necessary to have a block party in the so-tightly-populated city neighborhood in #CambMA?

*praying n hoping it ends soon, as this continuous boom-boom sound of the disco bass is unbearable after a few songs, and there’s no escape from it*

Subtooting here: I agree that it is unlikely that all of the US or a corridor of major cities will fix their carbrain designs in my lifetime.

But places like #CambMA have definitely shown me that huge improvement can happen on a local level quite quickly.

Give actionable feedback to your local city government ffs #urbanism

Does anyone have cat sitter recommendations for #CambMA #CambervilleMA #Boston

Had to make a morning trip out to the suburbs today and return to #CambMA during rush hour. I can't believe people do that regularly.

Does anyone have #recommandations for singing lessons in the #CambMA #Boston #CambervilleMA area?
