This randomly sampled distribution should be centered on the population mean and 90 people agreeing would place our subject in the top or bottom 5%. Maybe somebody else should be rethinking their position on the intelligence distribution curve.

The first step is to reduce the amount of unnecessary plastic packaging. Then i think we need to have regional recycling plants where new products of packaging can be made. I don't think "The Market" can make this profitable, so it should be part of the public works. More products could be in glass or Aluminum cans. There is much that could be done. There is no single silver bullet solution to the problem.

This is crazy. The whole neighborhood is gentrifying at an incredible rate. High paying jobs in the big tech and pharma industries that are walkable from this neighborhood have made it impossible for the middle class to stick around.

Atwoods is closing because of covid and maybe a change in taste of those new in the neighborhood. Not because of Cambridge becoming more poor.

Nobody ever had to worry about owning a car in Cambridge, not since the Red Line was built.

Besides, the bike lanes have been there as long as Atwood’s has been there. Bike lanes are not what caused this.

I don’t know how you can say that with a straight face. Cambridge median income has done nothing but go up.

Wealthier people aren’t exactly known for creating hip places. All the cool places in Central have shut down because commercial landlords have jacked up rent because Cambridge is becoming a much wealthier city.
