Bostonian here. Yes in the 40s to late 90s the South End was mostly single room occupancy, inhabited by grizzled bachelors and lonely spinsters and widows, and a slew of drunks and druggies who spent their day trudging from scutwork job to liquor store to drunken stupor. But the neighborhood wasn’t built for them but for the upper working class of Boston. Cycles, everything cycles from new to used to used for something else. People who performatively despair of conditions should know this.

You’ve got to keep cultivating the garden even in the off season. By Lech Wales’s you mean the ‘ in solidarity’ tag line? Totally normal in left circles since long before Lech. If it were Solidarity, capital S yup a reference to a Polish activism.

The governor of Florida was solely responsible for the Martha’s Vineyard migrant trip. The governor of Texas was blindsided and miffed about it. Gov DeSantis needed some brown skinned people to send, the immigrants in Florida tend to be from Cuba so untouchable for an ambitious trumpy . So he spent some Florida taxpayers money to poach some more appropriate nationalities from Texas. Like scorpions in a bottle those govs are.
