Reply to comment by LIATG in Black leaders are developing Nubian Square. Can they revitalize the economic heart of Black Boston? by bostonglobe

Yeah I’ll believe it when I see it, it’s not black people running from these areas when it gets developed, it’s them getting pushed and priced out by people who will ironically make a show of the horrors of gentrification.

I think if there's a balance, with affordable housing it could be amazing. Up and down Washington and Blue Hill are billboards in empty lots showing the upcoming development that includes mandatory affordable housing quotas.

I see it in Chelsea and Eastie, bring it to Roxbury and Mattapan too. While loosening the bar restrictions and promote local artists and businesses/start-ups. It would change Boston to even better city for everybody.
