[LincolnTalk] Film Sunday, May 19 at The First Parish, "The Law and the Prophets

[bslayter]

  _  

Film Screening | The Law and The Prophets
Sunday, May 19 at 3 pm
Stearns Room & Zoom

Join Sarah K and the Racial Justice Advocates for a special screening of The
Law and the Prophets (2023), a compelling and thorough documentary exposing
the systems of oppression that Palestinians face in the West Bank, East
Jerusalem, and Israel. This film features interviews with 8 brave
individuals, both Palestinian and Israeli, who explain the laws and policies
of the occupation. On her recent solidarity trip to the West Bank, Sarah met
four of these modern prophets.

After the screening, we will be joined via Zoom by the filmmaker, Rev. Dr.
Joshua Vis, and Rev. Chris DeBlaay. Josh and Chris are peace activists
working to educate Americans on the realities of the occupation of
Palestine. They lead tours to the region and, along with Sarah, were part of
the 23-member delegation that traveled to the West Bank and East Jerusalem
in late February. They will present material connected to their recent visit
to the West Bank as well as insights from historians, activists, and other
thought leaders.

If you will be joining us virtually, please
 CLICK HERE to register in advance for this
meeting.
After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing
information about joining the meeting.

[LincolnTalk] Reflections on a Community Center for Lincoln

[bslayter]

Over the years there has been a lot of discussion about the pros and cons as
well as the specific characteristics of a community center that we might
eventually have in Lincoln.  

Three contributions to The Lincoln Squirrel's "My Turn" in recent weeks have
shaped my thinking  about how to vote at Saturday's Special Town Meeting.
They are Ellen Shorb's  "How would you use a community center?".   Dilla
Tingley's  "A Community Center for Lincoln" and David Levington's "How about
Equity for Seniors?"

Ellen's delightful  essay encouraged us to imagine
possibilities.  The question she posed was not " How would I use a community
center in Lincoln right now?" but rather "How might I have used it when I
first moved to Lincoln with four young children?" and "How might I use it
in the near future?  Her lively responses led me to reflect on these same
questions for myself.  How might  I have used a community center at
different stages in my life?  What opportunities could have  existed in the
past and what might be available in the future?  It is intriguing to
speculate!

Dilla's essay led me to ponder another set of questions.  We are
not talking about a senior center.  We are talking about a community center
that will serve the whole community, seniors, school children, and everyone
in between.  LEAP will be ensconced in the community center as planned  but
more than that the building will be accessible to all ages, interest groups,
and organizations in the community in the way that the facilities at Bemis
Hall (much as I treasure them) simply can't accommodate.  If you have ever
tried to schedule a discussion group at Bemis or a public meeting with your
state representative, you know the pressure that exists on use of those
spaces.

With an "edge" about seniors being left out, David asks us to
look at the big picture.  Given three options to consider, he (and almost
everyone else) writes off the least expensive as being unacceptable, a
structure totally inadequate for addressing the programmatic and
administrative needs of the COA & HS and Parks and Recreation. 

He then looks at the tax implications of the remaining two
choices and determines that, from his perspective, the  difference is not
large.  Why not, he asks, take the step to create a structure that will
serve us well over a long period of time?  "Why not?" I ask myself.  This
might be an opportunity not to be missed.  Who knows when it will come
again.

I would also add another thought.   Isolation and loneliness are
widely regarded as significant concerns in contemporary American life.
Across the country approximately 30% of households have only one adult in
residence. 

 In Lincoln, a significant number of adults live alone.  While this may be
especially true for seniors, it is also the case for all age groups.  I can
well imagine the benefits of a gathering place where residents can get
together informally, at will, and as need be for casual interactions over a
cup of coffee or planned discussions, activities,  or events. 

How special to have a place to go without invitation, or pre-arrangements,
or pre-programming.  Just turn up!  This is my community, my center, and I,
along with everyone else in this community, am welcome.  And if it is
beautiful, spacious, and accommodating, so much the better.

[LincolnTalk] HCAWG meeting November 21, 8:00 am.

[bslayter]

I attended the HCA working group meeting on Zoom this morning.  A major item
on the agenda was the presentation and discussion of Option E prepared by
the Lincoln Residents for Housing Alternatives.

The individual who presented E declared that of all the options prepared
thus far, it would have the "minimal impact on the town of Lincoln. "  I
would add that it also would have the minimal impact on the housing problem.


When a member of the working group questioned whether Option E was in the
spirit of the  Housing Choice Act, a proponent responded, "The spirit of the
law has no meaning if you think about it profoundly."  I disagree. In this
case, the spirit of the law can be found in the problem we are being asked
to help solve and the empathy and sense of  community we find to do so.  As
we all know, just because you can't count something does not mean it does
not exist or have meaning.

[LincolnTalk] Reflections on Lincoln's Response to the Housing Choice Act

[bslayter]

 

 Since 2021 when Governor Baker signed the Massachusetts Housing
Choice Act (HCA) requiring communities on transport lines connecting them to
Boston to comply with zoning requirements that permit an increase of
multi-family housing, I have been keeping an eye on both the proposals of
the Housing Choice Act Working Group and various community responses. 

Recently, I have been trying to sort out the concerns and positions that
have been expressed.

* Keep Lincoln Green:  Lincoln is being asked to rezone 42 acres.
Lincoln's total land area is 9,216 acres.  Thus, the land  under
consideration for rezoning is 0.4 % of the total amount.  Lincoln has 40 per
cent of its land in conservation.  Keeping Lincoln green does not seem to me
to be an issue.  In fact, "a massive radical rezoning of a huge amount of
Lincoln and letting the developers have at it," as was asserted by a
participant  Monday evening, November 13, seems a considerable
overstatement.

 

* Overwhelming traffic:  I live on Trapelo Road, an access road for
Lincoln, and am very much aware of rush hour traffic which twice a day pours
through Lincoln.  I have also observed that at least 90% of the cars are
occupied by only the driver  and are moving from  outside Lincoln to another
destination outside Lincoln.  The rest of the day traffic is light.   I am
persuaded that the increase of cars owned by residents in new housing around
the town center will be a small part of the traffic problem Lincoln faces
and that there are other ways we might deal with traffic flow concerns.

 

* Red herrings:  There are several red herrings, but one is
particularly bothersome.  It is the question of affordable housing.  The HCA
requires only 10%.   We need to have more.  Therefore, the argument goes,
let's delay compliance and figure out a higher percentage that the town can
determine and control.

 

However, in my view, if we proceed now with enabling rezoning
for 635 units, we shall at least be on the way to 60 plus possibilities for
affordable housing, a better option than spending more time trying to figure
out how to get there.  I strongly support affordable housing, but I also see
here the risk of allowing the "perfect" to stand in the way of the "good."

 

  A second red herring, in my view, is the notion that the town has no
agency in the face of "the developers."   There are all sorts of regulations
and checks, and I do not foresee Lincoln's leadership simply "rolling over
and playing dead."

 

* Timing: Timing can be a tool; timing can be a weapon; timing can
be money; timing can provide opportunity; timing can "slow walk" a proposal
or project into oblivion.  One question about timing utterly perplexes me.
People have complained that the discussion has been moving too quickly, that
we need to slow down, that they are only now learning about this act and the
decisions to be made.  

 

This has been under discussion for nearly two years.  Have they attended any
of the several neighborhood discussions?  Or the State of the Town meeting
on September 8?  (About 100 people only were present.)  The HCAWG has
provided "tons" of information and offered numerous opportunities for
discussion.  Do we need more time for this discussion?  I don't think so.

 

* Worst case scenarios  A number have been presented and most
involve traffic lights, ugly multi-story buildings, and an increasingly
brown environment.  My personal worst-case scenario is the continuing
decline of our commercial center if we do not move expeditiously to provide
the context in which it can thrive.  The town website offers compelling
evidence for keeping the mall area within the zone for HCA compliance.

https://www.lincolntown.org/1327/Housing-Choice-Act-Working-Group

 

Let's reframe this discussion and think of some best-case
scenarios in which we have several handsome three-story apartment buildings,
attractive landscaping, park benches, a playground, another coffee shop, and
other opportunities for residents to congregate in a charming and congenial
setting.  

 

* Making the decision Somehow, we must find our way between
paralyzing caution and grave risk.  I firmly believe that the HCA Working
Group, the Select and Planning Boards, and the Rural Land Foundation have
provided a path forward to do so.  I have confidence and trust in their
careful investigation of the issues, their commitment to the values of the
town, and their judgment.  Whether or not the designated working group and
various boards  add newly proposed options to the roster for discussion on
December 2, I hope that we shall move forward with determination to address
fairly and honestly the housing crisis that exists in the Greater Boston
area.  

And if there is any doubt in the need to do so, I recommend perusal of  The
Boston Foundation's recent housing report that
