Lol... I work half a block away from where the latest shooting happened. This article makes it sound like it's a warzone... it isn't. And as far as there being a supposed lack of police... the police station is a block down on the other side of the street. And directly across is the T Station... which usually has a noticeable PAT Police presence. You want to fix crime? Try fixing poverty, income inequality, and the affordable housing crisis. Try making mental health services accessible and affordable so the people on the street that desperately need it can get it. Crime is a symptom of problems that we don't even try to fix... and more police are just a bandaid on a bullet hole.

The lease is the most important thing. It’s not illegal to have tenants split a bill, despite what some have offered. Now armed with all the information I’d proceed to the landlord, you have no problem paying for water, but paying for a leak that’s not in your unit is not your responsibility, and the timeliness of the repair matters as well. Email the landlord, don’t call, and if it’s handled in person or via a call, email them anyway highlighting the points you talked about. Ex- I was just reaching out after our conversation yesterday and just wanted to confirm…

Edit: the key legal term here is foreign load, the extra amount added to the bill by the leak, which should be pretty easy to show with records
