Harvard Square faces a number of important issues and changes.
Most significant is a proposal by some on City Council to upzone Harvard Square and others to allow 25 story affordable housing developments. Both the Harvard Square Neighborhood Association and the Harvard Square Business Association oppose this.

Questions of good design and architectural preservation are important to HSNA - and an important part of our mission. The current City Council will be voting September 11 to allow 12 and 15 story income-limited housing without parking, setbacks, or design oversight in Harvard Square as well as along key corridors, among these Mass Avenue, Mt Auburn Street, and Fresh Pond Parkway. While we all support more affordable housing, we need to have a smart plan for this. There is an election this November for City Council and a number of the candidates are interested in more thoughtful planning and government transparency. HSNA is a co-sponsor of the Candidates Forum on September 10 - see below.
