I hope you'll find someone openminded

There is a great opportunity to make use of the multigenerational brain power and innovative thinkers in this city to BE innovative and proactive in making the city fit for the future, while maintaining its unique character. Challenges? Many! But I really believe that an energetic city manager who works with and listens to the many wise and visionary voices can make Cambridge be a leader in a sustainable future

Climate change. Loss of open space and tree canopy. CREATIVE city gov't approaches to housing affordability (not just relying on private developers) and to mobility to reduce reliance on private auto travel within the city. Noise pollution. Broadband internet! If not municipal, at least facilitating access for other providers

I think we need a forward-thinking, progressive, collaborative manager who is able to hear, understand and synthesize input from different points of view, who will prioritize livability in the city over commercial development, who can bring a diverse population together to make the sometimes difficult changes necessary to address the reality of climate change
