Margaret Weigel said the companies around Kendall Square leave the area bereft of resources for its residents.
"There's nothing for residents there," Weigel said. "There's nothing."
Monday's meeting also featured a few fireworks.
While Cambridge resident Elie Yarden was speaking, Reeves briefly interrupted him to ask him a question. After Yarden's allotted three minutes for speaking expired, a buzzer sounded and Reeves asked Yarden to step away.
Yarden argued that part of his time had been taken answering Reeves' question, but Reeves repeated that Yarden's time was up, and Yarden started yelling.
"If you would like the citizens of the city of Cambridge to remain ignorant of the issues...you will prevent me from speaking," he responded, adding that there is an "absence of the free press" in Cambridge.
Later, Cambridge resident Peter Valentine said Healy was turning the city over to developers, and that the real name of the Community Development Department is the "Developers' Development Department."
"The destiny of the city is to be a research [and] military-industrial complex," Valentine said.
