Number one killer of cops the past three years has been Covid. Nothing else comes remotely close.

And yet cops actively resist keeping themselves safe and healthy. And supporters like you cheer that ethos on.

If you truly cared about the well-being of cops, you’d be imploring them to get vaccinated…not defending their right to be a menace to themselves.

The most valuable property in Boston is owned by the Christian Science church. They don't believe in modern medicine. According to this principle, we ought to forcibly convert them.

What property is that? Are you talking about the Dalton parcel? The church sold that for $20m to the Pritzkers years ago.

Did it have some bullshit convenants that govern lower-floor activities and any hotel built there? Sure. But the millionaire residents who live there can act without restriction. (Because even the wacky Christian scientists know that forcing their teachings on alcohol sales, pornography and, to a limited extent, medical practices means any development would be worthless. And they love money just like anyone else does.)

The church properties are nowhere near the most expensive in Boston.

The Prudential is easily over $500m. Owned by Boston Properties. Boston Properties also owns the Hancock building. Paid $930m for it a decade ago.

What does the church own that even comes close to the value of the any of the commercial towers in Boston?
