...simply have a housing problem in this city. We have a markedly abnormal real estate market, influenced by forces unique to Cambridge. We have intense pressure on existing housing, and inflation in the price of it. We have a relatively inactive new construction market, in spite of intense demand. Part of the reason for this is that Cambridge is already a densely developed city, Scarcity and cost of land on which to expand the supply of housing is a constant barrier. We have families forced to leave Cambridge, or to tolerate poor housing conditions at continually increasing rents, because they...
...here tonight to state as a matter of public policy that the housing crisis is not simply an unfortunate but predictable result of 'the law of supply and demand" or "an economic fact of life."

Other Chileans complained that Anaconda is paying for the Exotica mine out of its windfall profits rather than by investing more U.S. dollars. Although Frei is trying to strengthen his fellow Christian Democrats before the 1970 elections, he is sticking to a moderate position. This month, he demanded a 51% share of Anaconda's Chuquicamata and El Salvador mines and an increase in the company's taxes. Later, he will also seek a larger share of profits from Kennecott and Cerro...
