Evaluation of Somerville, MA Housing Policy

Overall grade: B-

Somerville is much better than most Massachusetts municipalities. It has a modern form-based zoning code, permits triple-deckers and backyard cottages in Neighborhood Residence, allows broader multifamily types in Urban Residence, has reduced parking burdens, and has a serious affordable-housing system. But for a transit-rich, high-demand, four-square-mile city next to Cambridge and Boston, it is still too cautious, too procedural, and too preservation-oriented.

Zoning

The zoning code’s stated goals are good: walkability, transit-oriented development, mixed-use neighborhoods, a range of housing types and price points, affordable housing, and unbundled parking.

Description

We're looking to hire a part-time support person (exact hours TBD) to help out the customers of our three products. Wait, three products? Yeah, turns out we like starting things.

Here they are, in all their developer-focused glory:

• Upcase (https://upcase.com), an online learning platform for aspiring Rails developers.
• FormKeep (https://formkeep.com), a service that allows developers to easily add forms to their sites.
• Hound (https://houndci.com), a tool for automatically checking code style.
