mem_winterhillHey neighbors--
This just came across my twitter feed, I haven't had time to listen. But it seems relevant to our little organization.

"In cities across the country, working and middle-class Americans are struggling to keep their homes, pay their rent, and fight off eviction and foreclosure. Somerville, Massachusetts has an acute case of a national dilemma—call it a case study in gentrification; Boston’s Brooklyn or the Oakland of Massachusetts. "
In addition, the thread I caught also referenced some other Somerville-related media that I hadn't seen before. Check out these stories:
Somerville’s turn to ‘sewer socialism’ and Public sector must protect communities by Benjamin Bradlow. (I can't access the FT one, but I'm going to see if it's available from the library).
Here was the thread: https://twitter.com/bhbradlow/status/954383797369307137

Along with the inauguration of our city officials on January 1, the mayor gave an address that lists many of the directions he wants to navigate. You can see them in full at his Facebook page:
