Why do we let people who are already have homes decide on who else gets to be housed in their neighborhood? It's like being lectured on hunger by someone who just ate.

My starting salary on the Council was less than 1/3 of this salary. I didn't have the time to get a second job because I was already working 10-12 hour days. I think we should raise the salary of our electeds, but if staff isn't included, we're doing a disservice to the city.

Didn't get a chance to post it earlier, but WOW! What an amazing conversation this morning with @AbundantHomesMA , @jessekb , @BosIndicators , and @HousingFwdMA . We spoke about the 15-Minute Neighborhood. Thanks to @KenzieBok and @CllrKendraLara for hosting. #bospoli

This is the tone developers have had for decades: Noble developers want to "revitalize a neighborhood," but these pesky community members keep getting in the way. Harvard has presented virtually no plans to support the community, so how can we support them?

Harvard owns roughly one-third of Allston. Now it needs to win over the residents

When I was a broke college student, there were nights were I literally couldn't afford the 2.40 @MBTA fare back home. So I would evade the fare. That didn't make me a criminal, and increasing fines or calling the police on me wouldn't have fixed the problem. #bospoli

Owning a large number of properties is not an excuse for poorly maintaining your properties. #bospoli #AllstonBrighton

What if, and I know this sounds crazy but hear me out, we developed in Allston FOR Allston, with us in mind and in the process. #bospoli #mapoli #WestStation

ONLY A JUDGE CAN EVICT YOU. A NOTICE TO QUIT IS NOT AN EVICTION. RENTAL RELIEF FUNDS ARE AVAILABLE. YOU HAVE RIGHTS. EVERYONE BELONGS IN THIS CITY. #Boston #bospoli

The Federal Eviction Moratorium has expired, #Boston tenants are not without some protection. Renters who have applied to the @CityOfBoston 's Rental Relief Fund cannot be evicted for nonpayment of rent. Our Office of Housing Stability can help you here, .

No #Allston legacy will ever be as long-lasting as the guy who spilled a Frappuccino on Harvard Ave last summer that has since calcified onto the pavement

Here is the point system for Boston's #GangDatabase Note that "self admission" is worth twice as many points as "Documented Association (BPD Incident Report)" #bospoli

Hey #Allston ! Spent my morning scouting new spots for our community fridge. The Allston Community Fridge was removed from its location after providing hundreds of meals to the community. We're looking for a new home to continue that work. Thanks to @allston_guy for joining me!
