💯FACTS! And what's being proposed by @MayorWu DOESN'T fix the problem. At BEST—KICK THE CAN DOWN THE ROAD & Black, brown & poor OUT of Boston. Btw—@AyannaPressley reps one of POOREST & most DISADVANTAGED districts in congress, yet awful quit on home issues. #UrbanAgenda #BOSpoli https://twitter.com/OnlyInBOS/status/1618753149560291331
