I mean... yeah? Good public transportation and well-paying jobs both correlate with lower crime rates.

God what a hit piece. Violent crime is down. The "Boston Violence" they're describing is 7 homicides this year compared to 3 last year. They're mad because she doesn't show up at more crime scenes for the press.

Honestly love this. I'd bring the yellow line in a bit to service heavier populations, but I'm always amazed that the only way to get anywhere in greater Boston is to go downtown

Or maybe the people who benefit from the interconnectedness of a mobile population (everyone) should pay for the services required to support it (transit) through a small stipend (taxes)

Oh boy, way to chop those data BRIC. 4 more shootings in less than two months is statistical noise.
"Not attending peace walks and vigils" is a different criticism, but also a totally illegitimate one? And you know it is, primarily because she gets just as much criticism for going to too many public events and marches and not "working for the people" or whatnot.
Wu critics don't tend to be terribly consistent, but they're pretty damned loud.
