Wu said Boston’s “siloed” communities are the cause of underlying gaps in government support when it comes to housing shortages, climate change and the COVID-19 pandemic.
We must reopen Boston’s economy in a safe way, but whether we are able to do so is dependent on decisions at a personal level — and the best way to get there is not through inviting outsiders to come flocking into the neighborhoods that are already more likely to experience disproportionately severe cases of COVID-19.
The moratorium must end, but with our current lack of federal aid, state and local governments are now forced to handle the brunt of financial assistance for their constituents.
