The Somerville Licensing Commission last night approved the application of 'True Bistro, LLC' for a liquor license to open a vegan restaurant at 1153 Broadway. This is the current location of Teele Square Cafe (formerly Soleil Cafe).

lulz

if that doesn't indicate that there is a huge disparity between people that live in this this city and the people that work for the city, I don't know what does

The commissioners also live in the city.

One of the commissioners is 87, apparently! And he's held several public offices in the city.

Where he was born.

But apparently he's "out of touch" with "the people who live in this city" because he's not familiar with veganism.

That's a really succinct description of gentrification right there.

It makes me angry because it "others" fellow residents who serve as commissioners.

Not everyone knows what the word "vegan" means, and the commissioners who weren't aware of this aren't "out of touch" with their fellow Somerville residents because that wasn't a word in their vocabulary.

Somerville is a big city, and people aged 25-40 aren't the only people who live in it.
