Boston theatre makes its preferences known

Which of those statements do you disagree with?

A final solution for the homeless, drug addicts and mentally ill? 'Progressives' have quite a lot of sway in these parts, as do Democratic politicians who've controlled this state (the legislature) and city for more than half a century, you'd think this would be ample time to fix social problems like persistent homelessness, the social problems associated with substance abuse, mental illness, affordable, decent housing,etc. And I've been to and lived in large, medium and small cities similarly controlled by the Democrats and 'progressives' for more than half a century where problems persist and are in some places worse than here; yet all I've ever heard is how more $ is needed, more 'programs' are needed, etc.

Nope, I am not a Republican,neocon, or even hardcore conservative (I have some so-called conservative views and other so-called liberal views.) All my life living in large cities, and endless promises that if we just spend more $ on this or that, enact more 'programs', and all I've ever seen is more of the same old, same old.In this area, the #1 issue IMO is exorbitant housing costs, yet NOTHING is really done to improve the situation primarily because real estate interests make huge $ and control politicians, 'progressive' and the tiny few non-progressive, alike. Likewise, there's a very lucrative 'poverty pimp' industry, not to mention duplicitous unions in bed with the 'progressives' and big $ interests.
