The Council doesn't have the authority to appoint or remove BZA members. That lies with the City Manager. The Council recently approved paying stipends in hopes of attracting a more diverse pool of applicants to our boards and commissions. This is also the group that voted down 100% affordable housing, passive house, transit oriented building because they thought 9 stories was too tall on Mass Ave.

In addition to that, I believe the Board of Zoning Appeals is part of the Inspectional Services Department, so send them some feedback via https://www.cambridgema.gov/inspection/contactforms/inspectionalservices - I don't know who receives and routes those messages, it may not be a board of zoning appeals member, but just make it clear to them how you feel about the BZA decision.

Emailed them, and also exhorted them to fire those zoning board members who voted against renewing. I don't think there's even the smallest shred of excuse for those members to have any role in Cambridge city government, and even if the city council manages to overrule this, I'll be furious if any of those members who voted against Starlight remain on the board.
