Representative Ayanna S. Pressley (D-Mass.) endorsed six candidates for Cambridge City Council on Tuesday, just one week before the Nov. 4 elections that will decide the most crowded race for local office in modern history. Megan L. Blonigen reports. www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

In February, Cambridge City Council voted 8-1 to allow multifamily housing in every neighborhood. Now, 100+ new homes are moving forward, on top of 1000s advanced under the Affordable Housing Overlay and transit-oriented neighborhood plans. Get the facts, then VOTE by November 4!

From the Boston Globe, Aug 1: Landlords can’t penalize tenants for reasonable wear and tear, state’s top court says. The court also says signed leases requiring professional cleaning are void and unenforceable. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/08/01/b...

bostonglobe.comLandlords can’t penalize tenants for reasonable wear and tear, state’s top court says - The Boston GlobeThe court also says signed leases requiring professionally cleaning are void and unenforceable, a victory for tenants.

Under the new law: - Tenants only have to pay a broker fee if they hired the broker before the broker started working with the landlord. - Landlords and brokers working for landlords can't make tenants pay fees like application, background or credit check fees when they apply for an apartment.

hi. Cambridge has won a ton of good housing policies. We've ended parking minimums, eliminated single family zoning, passed a high-density overlay for 100% affordable housing. To keep winning more, we need to elect good candidates again this fall. Which means $. secure.actblue.com/donate/abc20...

52 New Street was a gym+parking lot; with #CambMA Affordable #Housing Overlay (AHO), it'll be 106 affordable homes, Passive House, next to Cambridge's largest park. In 2019, the AHO failed. That fall we flipped City Council, then passed the AHO in 2020 A better world is possible #yimby #mapoli

Central Square was blessed by Keytar Bear last night @universalhub.com @cambridgeday.bsky.social Let's level up Porter Square too. More homes in the square = more neighbors hanging out = more Keytar Bear. Don't let the NIMBYs take this away from you. Keytar Bear in Porter Square! #campaignpromise

Weigh in on the future of Porter Square and North Mass! Inclusionary housing, and all homes, ARE a public good -- let the city know you support at least 12 stories on Mass Ave and 18 stories in Porter by right 🧵
