Is Cambridge broken into districts? Do the Councilors represent distinct neighborhoods, or do they all function "at-large?"

They city votes as one district, but many candidates have strongholds in certain neighborhoods.

This would be the opposite. I believe it is modeled after some ANZAC voting schemes.

Basically Jan Devereux

Basically Jan Devereux replaces Dennis Benzan and the other incumbents stay.
That leaves the council still split into two factions w/r/t development projects: Mazen, Carlone, and Devereux are generally opposed to most development projects; the others are more friendly to the creation of more housing.
Other issues will be less divisive - I think most of the council is pretty good on transit and cycling, for example.
Not exactly. All of them say

Not exactly. All of them say they want more housing.
Mazen, Carlone and Devereux oppose housing projects that will add mostly expensive units (with token affordable ones), saying the gentrification will price people out of the city.
The otherstake money from developers and say the high-priced new units will add to the tax base and keep taxes low for current homeowners while providing some new affordable units.

I think that to end the biennial suspense and save the taxpayers of Cambridge money, they should elect the City Council to 6 year terms.
