Ongoing war

Shots fired over the weekend in Egleston Square. Now back on the other turf. Back and forth. But it's only poverty that makes them do this. If they had better housing they would be Bankers. I swear.
4:30 on a weekday is more than a little problem though. Maybe the judge will actually slap them on the knuckles with a ruler for punishment if they are caught. Nah, this is Nannychusetts. The judge will probably sentence them to a hug.

You could move to Texas. I hear they're very un-nannylike there. Of course someone may shoot you in the face at the 7-11, but if it does happen, it'll be a "good guy with a gun", so that's OK.
What does that even mean?

It's surreal to me how at one end of that street there's a whole food and at the other there's a gang war going on. Gentrification marches on, so I wonder where the eventual border (because the public housing isn't going anywhere) will eventually be.
There's no border.

And Whole Foods is not "at one end"--there have been shootings all up and down Centre St. in the past couple of years. Concentrated, maybe, near public housing but woven throughout the commercial/transport strip between Jackson and Forest Hills.

don't bet on public housing not going anywhere. Give it ten years and Bromley Heath will be gone.
Um, what?

I can't recall a single case of BHA housing being torn down for redevelopment purposes anywhere in Boston. Do you know something I don't know?

An interesting project to watch is Bunker Hill, where the BHA is looking for a developer to rebuild the whole thing and put in several hundred units of market-rate units.
