Serious question: apartment buildings are being slapped up left and right everywhere. Chelsea, Revere, Allston, Cambridge, seaport, the list goes on. Who is living in them?! And why isn’t more housing fixing the renting issues? I mean, everyone claims rent control is a bad solution, and building more housing is better. But all I see is housing being built, but renting hasn’t improved

Man the regular drip of violent crime in certain neighborhoods is really depressing. Then at the end of the year someone will post a link to all the murder victims in the city and they will all be the same part of the city and almost entirely black.
