Bring rent control back to Boston [View All]

[inthebrain]

Shouldnt we put this issue on the ticket for the Dem party in Boston.

Seriously, too many people around here have been feeling the pinch for the last ten years. I supppose some will preach to us all the benefits of gentrification but I really dont buy those arguments. I take a look at Kenmore square and I want to puke.

Rents have gotten ridiculous in this city and salaries certainly havent caught up. Too many blue collar workers have been priced out and its spread far beyond the burbs now.

Personally, I think this is one area where Democrats have become vulnerable in this state. Working class people need a democratic party that is active taking care of thier interests. I'm sick and tired of seeing Menino and his photo ops every time they break ground on a new building for BU.
