You, my friend, are the MOST dangerous judgemental type there is with a statement like yours “You don’t really need to know anything about a person other than that they believe this kind of shit to know they have …”. Just imagine if we all went around applying your logic for assessing a person’s intellect. WOW! Scary.

Reply to comment by keegan1015 in State lawmakers introduce bill to bring back rent control by HRJafael

It affected the whole city….every neighborhood, by law, was desegregated. Rent control on the other hand was limited in scope once the federal government implemented Section 8 housing.

Rent control was applied to certain properties. So, no matter your income if you were in a rent controlled apartment your rent didn’t increase. Many people got WEALTHY while living in rent controlled apartments, which was the real reason they got rid of it. People making really good money were in those properties and the people who were the targeted beneficiaries of the program got the shaft and ended up in public housing.

Reply to Does anyone know of a reasonably priced painter in Boston? We are looking for a painter for our nursery. The best quote we have had so far is $950 for ceiling, walls, baseboards and 2 doors. $950 seems like a lot for a 10x14 room. by lolotaylo

You might want to join Nextdoor, it’s an app that is a very helpful resource for things like this in your community. You’ll find lots of locals with a variety of services they offer. I think you can do much better than $950 for one room. nextdoor.com
