Remember that in 1976 the City of Cambridge took the very controversial step of approving DNA/gene splicing (while Somerville, Boston and dozens of other cities did banned this).  This controlled and pragmatic leadership step by the City of Cambridge is one of many key reasons that Kendal Square/Cambridge is the global capital of Life Sciences.   Technical innovation and leadership flows through our New England veins.  Let's not forget this while dozens of others cities rollout the welcome mat for Waymo/AV.
