Chiming in to say I agree with Rob. To be clear, I don't support the 5 (previously 18) options proposed by the Lincoln Residents for Housing Alternatives. (A few, such as E2, don't seem too bad. Others, such as E4 which focuses density in the Farrar Pond wildlife corridor, do.) My point is that

[LincolnTalk] Timeline of HCA options

I think it’s important to clarify how long the options being put forth to vote have been studied. The HCA proposals the HCAWG is asking the town to vote on have only been around for around 6 weeks (option C was presented at SOTT on Sept. 30th and options D1-D3 on Oct. 24th). The only real time to

I was nervous about this very question two years ago, and used Uber Alan at 4am. Booked him in advance, and he showed up despite a snowstorm that made traffic almost impossible (and a multiple hour delay at Logan). Could not recommend him more for peace of mind. Alan Giles 617-501-2611 Jeff On

This process has been discussed and surveyed for so long that it is hard to believe anybody really thinks it’s been rushed. And the reason the proposed zoning is concentrated at Lincoln Station is because that is what the long process resulted in — most people (still) think this is right for any

Little by little, we are beginning to see the reason why RLF is included in all the options given by HCAWG.  Trust and transparency go hand in hand.  It is true RLF had done a lot of good for preserving the green space of Lincoln and I think I can speak for all of us that we truly appreciate that!

Is  RLF nearing  bankruptcy? It sure feels that way...Hence this urgency to rezone the town center.  This is not "just a zoning change"...Let's be real here...  Most, if not all rezoning ends with major building.  This is not about climate change or to "fix" the housing crisis... sadly, this
