In a way, it's a bit refreshing. There's very little of this kind of grit left in Boston.

This is kind of old news, but I don't think it was discussed here -- Roxbury councilor: Neighborhood has enough affordable housing https://www.universalhub.com/2022/roxbury-councilor-neighborhood-has-enough I generally agree with the problem statement -- Roxbury has a disproportionate amount...

I believe the Nashua Center for the Arts formally opened this past Saturday. Pretty big project by historic standards for Nashua -- $25 million construction budget with $21 m from the city and $4 m in private donations. Includes new building and renovated adjoining historic building downtown...
