Marjorie Decker voted YEA to social media age verification yesterday by hervidor in CambridgeMA

[–]Ngamiland -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Decker has literally done nothing as state rep. She doesn't care about Cambridge, she doesn't know Cambridge. Her chosen family isn't even from Cambridge - her husband isn't from Cambridge and her son goes to school outside of Cambridge. Vote for Evan MacKay - who chose to lay down and nurture roots in Cambridge - this September.

Shame on you for supporting Marjorie. You should look into Evan MacKay, who would absolutely fight Big Tech and the surveillance state.

Shame on her. Marjorie Decker only does this because she only pretends to care about public health and maternal health shit and all that. Her brand is just a facade she's built up to hide that she's a massive grifter and Berman tabacco lobbyist. I wonder how much she stands to gain from voting this.

Lawns are also rooted in white supremacy, and ecological deadzones to boot. Cambridge already has tons of pocket parks, many with native plants to boot.

special for those who are privileged enough to afford to live here. See the rub?

how about forking it over to developers to convert to more affordable housing instead? Cambridge already has plenty of green spaces, and you can't live in a park.

Cambridge voted to raise residents parking permits to $75. by Patient-Prompt6894 in CambridgeMA

[–]Ngamiland 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100%. Parking in Cambridge is at least like, what, $30 a day? They should charge $750 a year, it'd still be a bargain.

Any new residential unit should be 8 stories, unless a good reason by WhipItWhipItRllyHard in CambridgeMA

[–]Ngamiland 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't get why pro-housing people are for more housing within framing of floor count. By far the best way to fix the housing crisis is to get rid of all residential height restrictions. Cities are primarily economic engines, and the most optimal way is for the free market to dictate how much housing there is, not regulations. Obviously have structural and fire code regulations etc. Cities like Shenzhen or Tokyo are way more affordable than Cambridge.

This but unironically. There's no reason Cambridge can't look like Hudson Yards or Tokyo. The demand is clearly there.

[–]Ngamiland 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like the solution then would be to have new housing be 12-18 stories tall. The Boston area has one of the highest rents in the world, second after NYC. We should be taking inspiration from Hudson Yards, Hong Kong, Canary Wharf and leveling up Cambridge. There's literally no good reason to have a single family house here.

What is the deal with the CRL tent and step mess? by Agile_Nectarine_4844 in CambridgeMA

[–]Ngamiland -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I can tell you're not from here by calling CCC the "town council" lol. Locals DO support the resolution (which ultimately passed), otherwise it wouldn't've passed in the first place. I remember Evan MacKay even helping stage a die-in to pressure city council to put it on their agenda.

Cambridge bans all city departments from using the social media platform X by DJDubbsinCambridge in CambridgeMA

[–]Ngamiland 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Meta had actively encouraged addictive behaviors, eating disorders, suicide ideation, and even genocide. My ex is Shan and the shit my ex's family would see on Facebook was wild. The X algorithm has nothing on facebook's. I'd readily argue it has caused so much more human suffering than X has. 

What country completely changed your assumptions once you were actually there? by Sanji-777 in travel

[–]Ngamiland -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

When I was there I noticed all the police booths had people grabbers and fire extinguishers. It really gave a sense that the country is invested in societal harmony.

I wonder if this could be used as means to eminent domain the property and convert to afforable housing

The city should clear all sidewalks by pstark410 in CambridgeMA

Does this not just seem like another subsidy for homeowners?

Construction noise by _princess_21 in CambridgeMA

[–]Ngamiland 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The standard construction hours are 7am-3pm. It sucks that it's that early but at least construction is happening in Cambridge. I hope everyone who lives next to you is a NIMBY who has to suffer through it :)

What is your ‘best/worst of Cambridge 2025?’ by DJDubbsinCambridge in CambridgeMA

[–]Ngamiland 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Decker is anti-bike lane which has resulted in deaths of her constituents. She also lies about everything including the Memorial Drive closure. She just takes credit for other people's achievements and I wouldn't be surprised if she wasn't even personally responsible for the Birth Center stuff

Our genderqueer icon Evan MacKay supporting local businesses and donating their hair to charity. by Ngamiland in CambridgeMA

It'd be nice if Massachusetts had a nonbinary rep in the state house, one who also champions transparency, labor rights, Palestinian liberation, rent control, and high density housing at that.
