> But substantial issues relating to the "creative class"? Such as, for instance, effective public transit? Suddenly the state and city can't spare a dime; its not a "priority"; students and post-car intellectuals (and, incidentally, the working class) are stuck paying through the nose to get on a subway that's broken again. Or, taking an Uber because its past midnight. (Late night service was great for the six months it lasted!) I couldn't agree more. The area just absolutely does not give a shit about infrastructure. It took Google coming into Kendall square to get the jacked up sidewalks and roads fixed outside of MIT, and the Longfellow bridge restoration project has been consistently extended. Meanwhile, up the block in Central square we have major Novartis, Takeda, J&J, and Pfizer research centers going in with no apparent consideration for how these workers will commute in and out. Cambridge seems more concerned with forcing people to use reusable bags for shopping than they are with actually instituting useful change.
