Do you think Cambridge needs more compact and new housing?
Robert and Dawn Laws thought they had made a sound investment buying a home in Cambridge.
The value of that asset has now “eroded by $200,000” after a company sought consent to build a two-story high density complex next door, the couple say.
The developer for the Taylor Street project, John Kenel, says it's is a step towards addressing critical housing needs and will replace “outdated, old, single glazed, minimal insulation, cold and damp” houses.
