How did Lubavich get to move forward when their plans were rejected by BZA. They only passed the historical commission by insulting the commission and pulling the anti-Semitic card. Cambridge is exempt from the Dover Amendment which means, unlike the state- Cambridge doesn’t comply with allowing religious and institutional expansion into residential neighborhoods. This is the case here. Not complying to the law. It originated because Harvard had been expanding into neighborhoods, purchasing affordable housing and creating classrooms. It was a way of protecting residents from student activity.
