Last night, Somerville’s Anti-Displacement Task Force held our first meeting to start creating our Rent Stabilization home rule petition. Could not be more urgent: here are three headlines from just the past few days on the absolutely intolerable housing crisis in MA👇

i am a strong believer that the best way to have an actual conversation with someone is to take a walk
Research shows that it can be less stressful to talk to someone when you’re walking side by side, with minimal eye contact, than conversing face to face. Here are some tips to get the most out of your strolling chats. nyti.ms/3MZmLBR

From @bglobetoday: What can make a great party even better? How about $200? 💸 Your city may be handing out cash to throw a block party with your neighbors. @SpencerBuell tells @seguntheprogram how. 📺 Watch more at @nesn and at globe.com/globetoday

Highly recommend neighbors on other streets banning together to create the street and community of their dreams. It really was amazing & now we definitely feel like a tighter group. Here is @cambma application form cambridgema.gov/IWantTo/Appl… Remember they offer Play street toys too
Cottage Street’s FIVE-DAY block party raised the bar. Neighbors reimagined what a street could be - a place for community and play. #PlayStreets #PublicSpaceLab

Today there was an emergency closure of the Winter Hill School because the building has been deemed unsafe after concrete fell through the ceiling where students often line up. This was not a surprise or unexpected. The building has been in a state of disrepair for years.

When you create opportunities for people to gather in community, they will come. I am SO excited to check out Cottage Street in C-ports 5 day block party! Thanks to @rmchase and the residents of Cottage Street for kicking off this block party season with a bang 🥳🥳🥳
Today is the start of my block's 5-day experiment with removing some parking spaces to create programming space, test ways to slow traffic, and build community. @CambMA Stay tuned for progress and updates on this thread.

Cottage Street Block Party is LIT y'all!
Replying to @rmchase
Painting has been an amazing community builder. People chat while painting and everyone stops to talk.

This video of the neighbor on Cottage Street making play-dough for the block party made my ♥️ swell. Post covid, we are all needing opportunities for gathering and being in community with others. Want to host a block party? cambridgema.gov/IWantTo/Appl…

You mean, like this? "It is now easier and cheaper to host block parties in #CambMA. The City is eliminating the block party permit fee, providing free party games, and offering $200 cash awards (limited supply) to support celebrations." cambridgema.gov/news/2023/05…
