Compromise on Zoning: A Lack of Leadership
The Cambridge City Council's approach to multi-family zoning has been criticized for rushing a process that could have been well-defined.
Leadership means setting policy that serves all residents — grounded in facts, guided by long-term vision, and shaped by thoughtful urban design.
According to the letter writer, the council's decision was not based on a thorough examination of the issue, but rather a choice between two flawed options. The process to examine single- and two-family zoning in Cambridge was initiated nearly five years ago, with the intent of having a broad, unbiased discussion rooted in data and public engagement.
- The initial process was never completed.
- Rushed policymaking has taken over.
The contrast between committee approaches highlights the problem, with one committee inviting voices calling for sweeping upzoning and another bringing in urban planners urging context-sensitive solutions.
Author's summary: Cambridge City Council's zoning compromise lacks leadership and thoughtful urban design.
