Thanks for all of the resources! I'm specifically looking for people who lived in the neighborhoods of where the fires took place. Bit of a long shot I know!

Yes it is, which matches what the city of Boston says.

We need an iron and brick wall to shield the bullets instead. And also it's odd how most prominently white neighborhoods don't have to face this. The poverty being in these poor neighborhoods and filled with black people. It's almost like we have a historical problem in this city that is being covered up by not speaking about it. Maybe the city should actually looked into this and do something more than "give thoughts and prayers". Man is dead already and we all know someone else is next. Considering these factors afflicting these neighborhoods - education, family planning, birth control, income stability, etc - it would be nice if the city looked into it.

Sports are 100x better when you have 10 or 20 bucks on it. This is simply a fact.

Is that what you tell yourself?
You've avoided a discussion and just went on the attack, so you proved something to me.

Could be some serious new housing there, not to mention all the existing people in Malden/Medford/Everett who could suddenly be in reasonable walk of the stop.

This is letting perfect be the enemy of good. We need more of all kinds of (high density) housing

The fact that affordable housing is 70% of the Area's Median Income is likely due to survivor bias. If the market doesn't have enough housing supply then the prices will go up until they consume larger and larger portions of people's income. Eventually the people on the lower end of the income spectrum are forced out because the housing system is market based and the winners and losers are chosen according to who can afford rent. Inclusionary polices cannot solve a supply problem, and the market but its very design will leave low income (often synonymous with underprivileged and marginalized) people holding the bag.

No, you did the proving, but even this “discussion” is feeding your troll-y endorphins. Stupid me. I’m out.

Also, betting with your friends means you both have to be on different sides every time. I’d rather bet with my friends and we can all cheer for the same outcome.

Luxury housing isn't luxury because it's nice, it's just luxury because it's new. Places that currently are not considered luxury were considered luxury when they were new. Someday this new luxury housing will be considered old and cheap,but only if we keep building more.
No one is going to invest money into building housing and market it as 'subpar housing' or 'eh it's okay housing'.
The cost of those units has more to do with the lack of other housing in the area rather than any relation to the quality of the housing.

If you're sitting on the field you have to go back into the concourse, unfortunately.
