You forgot attack the suburbs......so even more people move out of mass.....instead of fixing problems.....just screw everyone else....it's the Massachusetts way.....look at the seaport...what a cluster of poor people get the hell out..for all the talk Wu and former democratic mayors talk..they are like all the other politicians....give me new shiny and expensive and screw everything else...we're going to push the lower incomes to the suburbs and maybe they can afford to commute into boston....

"The housing is high end and expensive, developers included little affordable housing, and public transportation access is limited. Public funds are behind Seaport, and the neighborhood should be available to all Boston residents, argues Walker."

I'm out on that....urban sprawl should not be left unchecked....people who like cities great but not everything should be a city......developers are predatory...period...we've done enough damage to our world to just keep paving everything over and saying isn't is lovely...

New U.S. Census Bureau data released Thursday shows Massachusetts losing more than 7,700 residents from July 2021 to July 2022. That's nearly 14,000 people in the past two years. Massachusetts hit a new milestone of 7 million residents in 2020, only to see numbers decline since then.
