Every week, the Somerville Journal is full of angry letters from "old-time" Somervillians who can't afford to live there anymore - every one of them blames the mayor. But, when you've got a town that is right next to hyper-expensive Cambridge and less than a mile from downtown Boston with an old repairable housing stock.... Reminds me of the old Busboy's song "There goes the neighborhood" from the early 80s - an ironic look at what would happen if white people realized the neighborhoods they gave up in the mad dash for the suburbs in the 50s and 60s were actually pretty nice and really convenient to their jobs. But really, the problem with the article is it doesn't give any alternative. How would Cambridge pay for all those nice parks and amenities without the Kendall Square company's tax receipts?
