Cambridge MA Mayor, Marc McGovern's Golden Hour | The Golden Hours Podcast

Episode 59. So... the mayor of Cambridge came up to the show. That was wicked dope. Shouts Out to Mayor McGovern for coming up onto the show and keeping his political agenda at bay to simplify the role of local politics for people in their twenties. Mayor McGovern was elected to Cambridge City Council in 2014, and was further elected to Mayor in 2017. For those who don't know: Cambridge is a chaotic city, it's one of the most densely populated cities in the country and harbors an eclectic mix of people. We had the chance to talk about: the role of the massive biotech boom in Kendall Square and the role it's played in the rapid gentrification of Cambridge. The long term homelessness problem in Cambridge (specifically in Central Square and Alewife). The actual leverage the mayor has in executing on political decisions, weed in Cambridge (his experience with it...), affordable housing in Cambridge, and opportunity for the arts in Cambridge. It was a really dope episode, and I hope everyone can make it through the 2 hours! Shouts out to Cambridge, and shouts out to Mayor McGovern and shouts out to Luis for getting it done. ----------------- WATCH THIS Podcast HERE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Txl9DLY9pWA ------------------ The Official Score of the "Derek the Last Air Bender" was composed by Josh Schuback (@josh_schuback) & Designed by Jack Bigelow, (@jack.bigelow).
