Ughh wow Baker with the 1000iq take here, can't wait to get rid of this clown and replace him with someone who does the same thing just not loudly zzzz. There are plenty of cops, they just spend their time watching people get assaulted in tents because they are too afraid to try and apprehend dealers. And even if they did apprehend the dealers, thats not going to stop the flow of narcotics.
What a lame pat on the back. The low threshold housing with strings attached will not fix these issues. Moving these people somewhere else with fewer resources available will not fix homelessness, it just moves it out of sight for the president and some inbred brit.

R/Boston is an anti-Wu, pro-Baker sub. You're not gonna get far with this comment.

I think there’s reasons though. Mayor Wu hasn’t really accomplished anything except pissing off a lot of businesses during her Covid response. Baker was a republican who managed to reach across the aisle with Dems on lots of issues. You might disagree on any particular issue but the fact that he was able to work with Democrats is better than 80% of governors either republican or democrat. Personally I give huge props to any politician who is willing to vote against their party if they believe in an issue and he did that plenty of times.

"Working across the aisle to accomplish the bare minimum" (which should really be read as "not obstructing the bare minimum") is not good, and does not earn my respect.

Voting along parties lines in my opinion is the worst t thing a politician can do besides murder and rape.
100% serious. There is 0% chance you agree with your party or 100million Americans on every issue. So it it literally proof you either do not do research your job or you are only looking out for yourself.
I think your an idiot if you are a voter and can’t find 3 things to agree with the other party on but I think you should be in prison if your in congress
