Cambridge Mayor Kenneth E. Reeves '72 said the city needs a proactive program to assist people who will be affected by the abolition of rent control, which may take effect as early as January 1.
Speaking at last night's city council meeting, Reeves also criticized the city councillors and rent control board for not responding to the issue with more urgency.
Reeves said that since the outcome of these measures is unclear, the city must prepare for the possibility that rent control will be eliminated.
Reeves said the council's apparent sense of non-urgency and the rent control board's lack of true assistance to people who face such "disruptions" were disturbing responses.
"I do not want anyone to feel these wasn't sufficient time to discuss this issue," Reeves said.
