In a press release, mayoral candidate Sam Yoon proposed to undo Boston's BRA should he be elected. According to Yoon, the Boston Redevelopment Authority is an "outdated system that favors developers over communities, that lacks coordination, and that consumes a large amount of revenue with no oversight." He proposes to replace it with a "Community Development and Planning Agency,"—which, if he simply called it the "Community Neighborhood Development Operations Management," could have the acronym CONDOM—with an emphasis on transparency, citizen accountability, and green development. He even throws in a few biking shouts-out.
