There is a grassroots group working to change the plans that the city and developers keep coming to terms with. At their site is some information that outlines the technical differences between the plans. The cities, or mayors, position is that they are not "realistic". Here is their site: http://www.mysticview.org/0w-00guide-99.htm#guide_xx

They have also posted a series on the subject that has a lot of the history, here is number ten in the series: http://somervillenews.typepad.com/the_somerville_news/2006/06/assembly_square_3.html
