A Better Cambridge has announced their endorsements for City Council. Incumbents Burhan Azeem, Marc McGovern, Sumbul Siddiqui, Denise Simmons have been endorsed; newcomers Adrienne Klein, Joe McGuirk, Frtanz Pierre, Jivan Sobrinho-Wheeler, and Ayesha Wilson have also received the endorsement.

If housing is your number 1 priority, these are the folks you want on your ballot this fall.

@crschmidt I wonder if this housing-first council would uphold the CSO

@bikepedantic @crschmidt I count 6 who I know signed the bike pledge. 2 who I know didn’t, and 1 I'm not sure about.

@dhidalgo @bikepedantic @crschmidt I’d like to see a Venn diagram of “good on housing” and “good on bikes”

@dhidalgo @bikepedantic @crschmidt Corporate wants you to find the differences between that image and this one:

(Also, I love how CCC is a local group and ABC isn't)

@Ofsevit @dhidalgo @bikepedantic FWIW, “ABC is part of the National YIMBY Deep State” or whatever is the way they claim that, even though it’s obviously completely ridiculous.

@crschmidt @dhidalgo @bikepedantic probably part of the Bicycle Lobby, too.

Evidently there's a bunch of developer money out there but I haven't seen it yet.

@Ofsevit @crschmidt @dhidalgo @bikepedantic Don't see how there can possibly be "developer money" in a city that barely allows anything to be build...
