...abbreviation factor" is the final piece of circumstantial evidence pointing to the CCC's basically conservative stand. For 40 years, the Cambridge Civic Association, known to all as the CCA, has dominated Cambridge liberal politics. Each election year it runs a pro-rent control, anti-condo conversion slate. This year, once much of the CCA '79 literature was back from the printers, the CCC emerged, with similar slate tactics. To further complicate things, the CCC endorsed the three CCA candidate who later demanded to the unendorsed. Duehay demanded to be left off the CCC ticket because he feared "there would...
...PIECE of evidence they use is the CCC's slate. Although there were three pro-rent control liberals on the original CCC slate, (all three--Francis Duehay, Alvin Thompson and David Wylie have since withdrawn), there is no question that if the CCC slate does triumph rent control will be in trouble. The four incumbents for which the CCC will campaign all voted against rent controls and attempts to control condominium conversion, and none of the challengers picked by the group was willing or able to gain the support of the Rent Control Task Force. City council meetings might...
Another clue to the philosophical makeup of a group which claims to have no philosophy lies in its membership.

Of the seven original officers and members who registered the group with City Hall September 20, five have purchased condominiums since August...
...Walsh, a Cambridge attorney who is among the most skilled and the most vocal opponents of regulation of condominium conversion in the city. Walsh who said in an interview early last summer that God gave each and every American the right to own a condominium, served on the CCC housing committee. "Does that make him a member?" Goetz was asked. "Yes, you have to belong to work on a committee," she responded. Walsh said minutes later that he is not really a member, that he had simply donated "six or seven hours of my time," and that he didn...
...DISRUPTING the Cambridge electoral system, the CCC is doing a disservice to Cambridge voters, who for a decade have participated in a healthy representative system complete with identifiable candidates who are easily held accountable for their issue postions. Now, instead of comparing pro- and anti- rent control and condo-conversion candidates, Cantabrigians will have to figure out what to make of the CCC. Since their "deplorization" stand makes little sense, they are a monkey wrench in the system. If Cambridge's landlords and real estate brokers are responsible for that wrench, it is a low blow. If it is only...
