In May, Vijeta and I had our wedding in Cambridge Commons with hundreds of you all. In June, her grandfather suddenly passed away. In July, her papa was diagnosed with stage IV cancer and a brain tumor. He is 58. He was at our wedding, already symptomatic, and none of us knew.
While we’re in the area, MBTA, electrify the line, build the complete trail along the tracks to Porter, build a quadrangle train stop, and release a joint development RFP 2.0
Vice Mayor Burhan Azeem@burhanazeem.bsky.social · 2w agoThe quad and the triangle are one community, but the train tracks split them in two. A bridge is the answer, so City Council has done the work. We partnered with Healthpeak, rezoned the area, and created incentives to get the bridge built. Now just one thing stands in the way.
For the locals: after going to a group debate at SHS and considering all the candidates, all of whom basically share my general values, this is truly the level of knowledge, detail, savvy, and nerdery that I want in my state senator. @burhanazeem.bsky.social www.reddit.com/r/CambridgeM...

Side guards save lives. But wait, what’s a side guard?
@314action.bsky.social works to elect scientists and engineers at every level of government, so that they can bring data and evidence to the problems that matter most, from climate change to healthcare. As an engineer, that's exactly how I've approached each thorny problem in Cambridge.
I sure hope Burhan gets elected because #mapoli needs this kind of leadership. He’s been a breath of fresh air.
Vice Mayor Burhan Azeem@burhanazeem.bsky.social · 2w agoIf we enacted a 2 cent sales tax across the MBTA service region, paid by everyone who benefits from the system, it would raise billions for transit every single year. This program would also bypass the annual funding fight in the State House, which stymies any ambitious transit project.

Massachusetts punishes you for fixing up your property. I'm not being dramatic. Right now we tax land and buildings together, so the empty lot down the street pays almost nothing, while the neighbor who actually builds housing or opens a shop gets a bigger bill.

As state senator, I would push for three key changes to lower electric bills for all of Massachusetts.
Cambridge cut electric bills by $95 million. Here's how.
In Cambridge, we built a municipal program that negotiates electricity in bulk and returns the savings straight to customers. By eliminating the middleman, w...

The state tells cities to tax more. But Massachusetts law says cities can't. Here's how that happens.
