Single issue voter

Hello,

Can someone tell me who caters least to families, children, and "no turn between 7-9 a.m." signs in the upcoming election?

Thanks!

Well, it's kind of part and parcel with living here. Somerville is, I believe, the city most heavily zoned for residential purposes in America, and I've heard it's pretty close to the highest in terms of residential zoning on Earth. That means a lot of families live here, hence a lot of votes.

Also, running on a "screw the children" ticket would be a hard sell, just guessing.

I bet there are a lot of young, single professionals that would enjoy less of a stranglehold by certain aspects of nanny-statehood.

True, but that's got nothing to do with kids, except they're an excuse.

I haven't noticed this stranglehold. Where is it?

You must not drive much.
