She/Her
Elizabeth Bisio is a startup founder, tech executive, and former ER nurse renting in Cambridge Crossing. She has not filled out any candidate questionnaires published to public domain (yet).
Elizabeth is a first time candidate. In interviews, she has said the City should "slow down" implementation of the Cycling Safety Organization, and instead focus on intersections. She is against any project that eliminates parking "without clear alternatives."
She has a Springer Spaniel, a cat, and two horses.
In general, Elizabeth Bisio is skeptical of the new ordinances around new construction. She is does not believe building codes are sufficient to ensure build quality, and feels design review boards can solve that problem, and wants to reintroduce such additional steps instead of allowing housing construction by-right.
According to her campaign website, her horses do not live in Cambridge.
"We can build as much housing as we want, but if it's not going to last more than 10 years, we're just going to have these cycles of demolition and rebuilding."
(22 Water St was built in 2014 and is not under consideration for demolition)
"Yes, we need more affordable housing but ... is it going to be something that makes sense with the neighborhood?"
"The stuff that's being built today, they're actually expecting the building to depreciate over 10 years so they can knock it down and build up something new. Because everybody wants something that's brand new."
(On the Cycling Safety Ordinance) "It's a little half-assed."
"I talk to residents, and they feel like the City has been really kind of disrespectful with their tax money. We're paying for all these programs, but how is it benefiting me? Is it really something I can utilize?"

Elizabeth Bisio, an aspirant to City Council, said “People value multifamily and affordable housing, but are concerned about impact and unintentional consequences. When you talk to people, they have more similarities than differences, but in public comment you’re not hearing that. And the Pacs exacerbate that.”
