Quotes

I am a kid from Cambridge that grew up in the projects and worked at the State House.

I think that it’s a shame that Harvard only gives the city so little bit of resources towards affordable housing and other programs. You also have to figure out a way to house your own students. That takes away from the pressures on the housing market.
