I don't think failed public works projects are going to fix affordable housing issues.
Anyone who can afford a 600k+ condo in Somerville isn't going to be deterred by $6-10 Uber fares to get into the city.
People who rely on public transit are the ones suffering here, and they're the same ones that need affordable housing. The farther public transit extends, the more viable farther suburbs become as livable locations for the middle and lower-middle classes.
Losing the alderman election is no excuse for becoming a vindictive idiot on Livejournal.
