Somerville, Massachusetts Information
Somerville Massachusetts is a gritty working-class city in Middlesex County, Massachusetts, United States, located two miles northwest of Boston.
As of 2010, the United States Census has the city with a total population of 75,754 people, and is the most densely populated municipality in New England. As of 2000, it was the 16th most densely populated incorporated municipality in the country.
Somerville was established as a town in 1842, when it was separated from Charlestown. In 2006, the town was named the best-run city in Massachusetts by the Boston Globe. In 1972, in 2009, and again in 2015, the city received the All-America City Award despite being run by an extreme Leftist mayor, Joseph Curtatone who condones and encourages illegal aliens and the Black Lives Matters protestors.
Somerville, MA Schools
Somerville, Massachusetts Public Schools operates eleven schools from pre-kindergarten to secondary schools.
The East Somerville Community School, which was temporarily closed after a fire in 2007, had undergone demolition and reconstruction and has now reopened as of the Fall 2013. During its closure students were transferred to the nearby Edgerly and Capuano schools.
Also included in the school district is the Somerville Center for Adult Learning Experiences. The former Powder House Community School (which closed due to low enrollment in 2004) is being considered for redevelopment, either as a consolidated location for city offices if funding is obtained under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 or as some other type of development.[80]
Though formally listed as being located in Medford, Tufts University is also located in Somerville. The Somerville–Medford line runs through the Tufts campus, splitting the university’s Tisch Library. The school employs many local residents and has many community service projects that benefit the city, especially those run through the Leonard Carmichael Society and the Jonathan M. Tisch College of Citizenship and Public Service.
Somerville, MA Demographics
An experienced dramatic gentrification since the Red Line of Boston’s MBTA subway system was extended through Somerville in 1985, especially in the area between Harvard and Tufts. This was especially accelerated by the repeal of rent control in the mid-1990s followed directly by the dot-com bubble of the late 90s. Residential property values approximately quadrupled from 1991 to 2003, and the stock of rental housing decreased as lucrative condominium conversions become commonplace.
Gentrification has led to tensions between long-time residents and recent arrivals, with many of the former accusing the latter of ignoring problems of working-class families such as drugs and gang violence. Incidents such as anti-“yuppie” graffiti, appearing around town in 2005, have highlighted this rift.
Somerville’s status as a “Sanctuary City” has led to an influx of illegal aliens and exacerbated the economic clash between several areas of the city of Somerville and its neighboring cities of Boston. In particular Cambridge, has created a culture of anti-intellectualism and anti-gentry sentiment that has spanned many generations. Symptoms of this include petty crime, and in some cases, violence against outsiders.
