We are fortunate to have two speakers this month! We will hear from one of our new city councilors and a very brite young woman, Ayah Al-Zubi. We felt it was important to introduce ourselves to her. And for us to get to know her and to understand what issues of most interest to her.Currently she is digging in deeply on one of those issues, housing, and especially "social housing". How might it work in Cambridge?But first, What is social housing?
We will meet, as John Howard, my predecessor, used to say, to put our ears to the ground and exchange information about what is happening in Porter Square and on Mass Ave. Please come to share what you are hearing and how we may meet to discuss some of it in the next few months. Ruth
