Cambridge reporter finds Globe piece on biotech development in his town weak and alarmist

Mark Levy analyzes a Globe story that purports to find a growing "backlash" against tech development in the city, based largely on the fact that the Forest City project got defeated:

"The backlash has caught the notice of biotechnology leaders, who are asking whether the industry is still welcome in Cambridge," Robert Weisman wrote on Saturday.

This would indeed be an interesting story - if there were any examples in this story of biotechnology leaders asking that. There aren't.

NOW he's worried about phony Globe "trend" pieces?

Cambridge could use a bit less NIMBY "stakeholders" and a bit more economic development effort to bankroll the demands of the aforementioned folks.
