Proponents of an East Cambridge Neighborhood Conservation District should ask themselves why they are putting energy into a policy that preserves building facades rather than policies that preserve the fabric of our communities. 

Philips increased ventilator production to meet demand after the Trump administration asked it to – and now is canceling its federal contracts with Philips and making it out to be the problem.
