A
A
Welcome
to
one
of
the
views
of
an
incredible
reminder
of
the
power
of
the
city
coming
together
with
community
members
to
decide
that
we
want
to
do
things
a
little
bit
differently,
but
then
having
long-term
impacts
and
ones
that
we
are
still
trying
to
to
think
about
today.
Faneuil
hall
and
this
parcel
of
land
is
actually
owned
by
the
city
of
in
the
city
owned
by
the
bpda.
A
This
parcel
land
is
publicly
owned
and
it
was
very
much
blighted
decades
ago
in
boston
and
this
agency
worked
to
ensure
that
a
revitalization
effort
would
happen,
bringing
tourists
and
visitors,
and
we
have
many
reminders
today
about
needing
to
refresh
that
mission,
even
just
across
the
street,
needing
to
make
sure
that
some
of
the
businesses
represented
in
the
most
visible
places
actually
reflect
our
community
reflect
our
entrepreneurs
of
color
and
that
we
can
see
those
resources
going
to
the
city
of
boston
as
well.
A
So
I
look
out
on
this
every
day
and
then
think
about
50
years
from
now.
What
decisions
are
we
making?
What
impact
will
the
decisions
that
we're
making
have
on
our
residents,
and
that
is
the
work
of
our
departments
that
think
about
planning
development
and
zoning,
the
growth
of
our
city
and
the
shaping
of
our
neighborhoods
and
the
day-to-day
lives
of
not
just
this
generation
of
residents
but
generations
in
the
future.
A
We
are
joined
by
our
chief
of
economic
opportunity
and
inclusion,
shogun
idawu,
our
chief
of
housing
for
the
city,
sheila
dillon,
our
deputy
chief
of
development
and
transportation,
transformation,
dev
and
quirk
new,
well,
so
new.
She
has
not
yet
technically
started:
deputy
chief
of
urban
design,
diana
fernandez,
bubeau
colleen,
fonseca,
executive,
director
of
the
builders
of
color
coalition
and
my
incredible
colleague,
city
councillor,
tanya,
fernando
anderson
as
well.
Who
will
speak
right
after
me?
Oh
and
counselor
aaron
murphy
as
well.
A
A
How
we
measure
think
and
understand
this
is
through
a
new
policy
that
the
bpda
board
will
be
voting
on
tonight,
focusing
on
dei
disclosure,
diversity,
equity
and
inclusion
disclosure.
The
policy
will
call
on
large
developers
proposing
new
projects
to
disclose
their
plans
to
include
women
and
people
of
color
in
their
projects
in
every
part
of
their
teams.
A
At
the
end
of
the
day,
our
residents,
developers
and
businesses
all
want
the
same
thing.
We
want
to
see
boston,
thriving
growing
sustainably
and
connecting
opportunity
to
our
residents,
and
particularly
our
young
people.
This
is
about
ensuring
that
success
is
spread
across
our
communities,
while
incentivizing
sustainable
growth
and
creating
more
transparent,
predictable
processes.
A
Much
of
the
what
we
can
celebrate
in
the
city
in
in
recent
projects
like
nubian,
ascend
or
other
publicly
owned
parcels
that
have
become
great
partnerships
that
are
putting
value
right
back
into
our
communities,
with
very
high
participation
from
entrepreneurs
and
contractors
of
color
have
been
because
when
it
comes
to
city
owned
land
that
we
are
then
partnering
for
development,
we
have
much
more
authority
and
jurisdiction
to
add
those
requirements.
A
So
this
policy
is
just
one
of
many
steps,
we're
taking
with
this
new
team
to
reimagine
what
development
growth
planning
looks
like
here
in
our
city,
and
I
will
shortly
invite
up
councillor
fernandez
anderson,
followed
by
chief
jemison
and
the
rest
of
the
leadership
team,
to
say
more
about
our
vision,
but
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we
are
reaching
more
of
our
residents
as
well.
First.
A
So
now
counselor
tanya
fernandez,
anderson,
oh
sorry,
counselor
anderson,
then
councilor,
murphy
and
then
the
rest
of
the
team.
D
Good
morning,
tanya
fernando
anderson,
district,
7
city
councilor,
thank
you
so
much
mayor
wu
for
including
me
in
this
press
conference.
Like
any
other
policy,
I
think
that
it's
important
that
we
collaborate
or
partner
with
city
departments.
I
look
forward
to
working
with
chief
jemison,
as
well
as
everyone
else
in
departments,
administration
merwoo.
D
D
I
look
forward
to
really
dig
deep
into
it
and
I'm
quite
sure
my
colleagues
here
would
agree
that
district
seven
has
deeply
invested
in
combing
through
the
inventory
looking
at
policies,
protocols,
programs
and,
I
would
say,
choices
or
racial
practices
that
have
been
implemented
for
far
too
long.
That
has
not
actually
manifested
racial
equity
in
district
7.,
so
I
am
invested
in
the
work.
I
look
forward
to
doing
more
collaboration
and
looking
at
again
how
to
do
this
in
a
very
intentional
way.
I
really
appreciate
this.
D
E
Good
morning,
everyone,
I'm
erin
murphy,
your
at-large
city
councilor,
and
I
am
here
to
uplift
the
mayor's
new
policy,
which
is
very
exciting
and
support,
sheila
dillon
and
everyone
in
the
mayor's
office
of
housing
and,
of
course,
the
bbta.
Everyone
who
works
up
there
and
our
new
chief,
it's
great
to
have
you
on
board
and
any
policy
that
we're
pushing
forward.
That's
equitable
and
transparent,
is
so
important.
E
A
You
okay,
so
I'm
going
to
read
the
order!
One
time
then
you
don't
have
to
hear
from
me
again.
It's
going
to
be
chief
jamison,
chief
eru,
chief
dylan,
colleen
devin
and
diana.
F
Well,
good
morning,
everyone
great
to
see
you
it's
an
exciting
day
today,
we're
announcing
a
new
policy,
that's
going
to
be
on
the
bpda
board
agenda
later
this
afternoon.
The
new
policy
is
going
to
introduce
diversity,
equity
and
inclusion
into
the
review
process
for
large
private
development
projects.
F
The
policy
is
going
to
be
in
front
of
the
board
tonight
and
it's
going
to
request
that
proponents
disclose
the
dei
plan.
Whenever
the
developer
proposes
a
project
over
20
000
square
feet,
the
plan
from
the
proponent
or
the
developer,
we
call
the
proponents
as
part
of
our
article
80
process,
will
include
economic
participation,
employment
and
management
roles
for
people
of
color
women
and
certified
mwbes
within
the
scope
of
the
project.
F
It's
responsive
to
our
commitment
to
advancing
economic
development
opportunities
in
the
real
estate
sector
for
everyone.
Bpda
would
collect
these
plans
to
better
understand
the
impact
that
these
firms
are
having
in
the
real
estate
market.
Help
us
think
carefully
about
how
to
increase
mwbe
participation
over
time
and
evaluate
strategies
to
drive
further
impact.
The
policy
work
is
representative
of
a
number
of
things
that
we're
doing
in
the
agency.
Now.
Some
of
which
my
colleagues
will
talk
about
that
we're
excited
about.
F
I
also
want
to
recognize
my
staff,
that's
here
today
and
offer
just
a
couple
of
other
notes
when
you
think
about
planning
and
development
in
our
city,
and
you
think
about
the
fact
that
years
ago
there
was
a
there
was
a
rusty,
old
overpass,
that's
now
underground,
and
you
think
about
some
of
the
amazing
developments
that
that
our
development
community
is
putting
together
around
the
city.
F
I
know
that
this
development
community
has
the
ideas
and
ingenuity
to
figure
out
how
to
advance
this
goal,
and
I
really
want
to
call
on
them
and
and
every
part
of
them
every
part
of
the
industry
to
say
you
know
I
want
bostonians
to
look
at
every
building
going
up
in
the
city
and
know
that
each
building
and
its
economic
impact
is
part
of
is
part
of
making
people
making
people
an
equitable
wealth
distribution
in
our
community.
F
We
can
do
this,
we've
done
so
many
things
together
with
the
development
community,
so
we
want
this
new
partnership
with
them.
This
policy
to
represent
a
new
way
for
us
to
work
together
to
grow
this
city
and
make
it
even
stronger,
and
with
that
I
think
I
get
to
introduce
my
deputy
chief
for
transformation,
devin
kirk,
I'm
sorry.
F
Doing
it
first
you're
gone,
I
get
to
introduce
my
colleagues
no
matter
how
many
times
you
read
it:
no
one's
good!
No,
so
shogun's
been
a
crucial
and
a
great
thought
partner
for
me
and
working
on
this
policy,
along
with
my
great
staff,
we've
got
so
chief.
Would
you
mind
coming
up.
H
Thank
you
very
much,
arthur
and
so
good
morning,
great
to
see
all
of
you.
There
is
a
proverb
and
I'd
get
in
trouble
with
my
staff.
If
I
didn't
say
a
proverb
today,
there
is
a
proverb
that
says
to
talk
much
and
arrive.
H
Nowhere
is
the
same
as
climbing
a
tree
to
catch
a
fish
and
when
it
comes
to
issues
around
racial
equity,
around
wealth
creation,
a
long
time
in
this
city,
we've
been
climbing
many
at
redwood
talking
about
how
much
we
care
about
these
issues,
but
not
delivering
on
that
promise
on
that
commitment
and
what
I'm
incredibly
proud
of
the
team
at
the
boston
planning
and
development
agency.
H
The
leadership
of
mayor
wu
and
the
entire
team
behind
in
front
and
throughout
this
building
and
throughout
this
city,
is
that
we
are
delivering
on
a
promise
that
boston
has
made
to
its
citizens,
but
has
not
always
followed
through
on
when
you
read
reports
from
groups
like
citigroup
a
few
years
ago,
saying
that
in
the
last
20
years,
this
country
has
left
16
trillion
dollars
on
the
table
because
of
our
inability
to
invest
in
communities
of
color.
H
When
you
read
the
mass
taxpayer
foundation
report
published
last
year
in
april,
showing
that,
if
massachusetts
alone
were
to
close
the
racial
wealth
gap
tomorrow,
just
between
black
and
white
families,
we'd
add
five
billion
dollars
to
our
own
state
economy.
H
When
you
read
reports
from
the
federal
reserve
bank
of
boston
describing
that
growing
that
yawning
racial
wealth
gap,
you
know
that
there's
a
lot
of
work
that
we
need
to
do,
but
we
also
know
that
there's
a
tremendous
amount
of
talent
and
wealth
in
our
communities
that
we
are
leaving
on
the
table
and
not
delivering
on
those
investments,
and
so
this
particular
policy
that
we're
putting
forward.
H
You
know
the
bpda
has
already
been
doing
this
on
public
projects
on
on
land
that
we
already
own
and
has
taken
that
that
the
model
that
we
often
talk
about
a
step
forward,
not
just
on
pre-construction
and
construction,
but
what
we
cared
about,
particularly
in
my
previous
role,
the
operations
of
these
development
projects
when
they're
done
ensuring
that,
while
we
see
black
and
brown
people
and
women
working
on
these
projects,
helping
to
create
these
projects,
we
want
to
see
those
same
people
operating.
H
These
projects,
when
they're
done
and
bringing
their
families
and
friends
to
that
area,
so
this
particular
policy
expands
that
to
development
all
across
the
city,
all
the
cranes
that
we
see
in
the
skies.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
businesses
owned
by
people
of
color
and
women
are
participating
in
these
projects.
This
is
also
a
way
for
our
partners
in
the
development
community
to
show
the
work
that
they
have
been
doing.
H
We
want
to
see
that
all
across
the
city-
and
we
appreciate
not
just
the
work
of
the
bpda
but
also
advocates
like
the
builders
of
color
coalition,
I'm
happy
that
colleen
is
here
today
and
other
advocates
who
could
not
be
here
today,
whether
it's
amplifier
beckma
foundation
for
business,
equity
and
others
who
have
long
time
for
a
long
time
been
advocating
for
such
policies
to
be
enacted.
H
So
I
want
to
thank
you
again
arthur
and
you
mayor
wu
and
the
entire
team
here
for
delivering
on
a
promise
that
was
made,
and
so
it's
our
work
in
the
economic
opportunity,
an
inclusion
cabinet
and
partnership
with
my
brother
here
arthur
and
the
team
here
from
bpda.
I
would
call
all
the
there's
like
20
people
here
from
bpda,
so
I
don't
want
to
take
up
time
calling
for
its
name
but
to
ensure
that
we
are
helping
the
development
community
be
successful.
This
is
not
something
where
we're
saying
you
go.
H
Do
it.
We
stand
here
ready
to
support
the
development
community
to
utilize
those
businesses
that
we
know
are
out
there
who
are
prepared,
who
have
the
capacity
and
the
willingness
to
help
build
a
city
that
they
love
and
cherish.
So
much
so
with
that,
I
think
now
I
bring
over
my
sister
in
service
sheila
dillon.
I
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
I'm
very
well
said
it's
very
exciting
to
be
here
today
and
I
I
really
want
to
thank
everyone
behind
me
for
for
putting
this
forward.
It's
a
very,
very,
very
solid
idea,
and
when
it's
it's,
when
you
ask
for
information
when
you
ask
for
developers
or
people
coming
before
the
city
for
relief
and
benefit
asking
information,
key
information,
it's
it's
not
a
requirement,
but
it
gets
all
development
teams,
the
whole
industry
to
stop
and
think
about
what
we're
trying
to
accomplish
together.
I
I
I
also
have
had
this
dream
for
many
years
that
real
estate
should
benefit
more
people
in
the
city
of
boston
right,
it's
a
wonderful
city,
it's
a
growing
city,
it's
a
dynamic
city
and
I
think
for
for
too
long
real
estate
development
hasn't
benefited
enough
enough
neighborhoods
enough
families
enough
businesses.
I
So
I
think
today
is
a
a
really
good
step
in
that
direction
that
real
estate,
the
economic
power
of
real
estate,
can
can
help
many
many
more
people
here
in
the
city
and
finally,
just
speaking
from
the
heart
here,
it's
a
new
day
in
the
city.
It's
a
new
day
at
city
hall.
I
The
bpda
calls
me
like
every
week
every
day,
looking
for
for
staff's
opinion,
my
opinion
on
things
we're
we're
talking
to
each
other
transportation,
economic
development,
housing,
we're
all
working
so
collaboratively
with
the
bpda
right
now
and
all
putting
our
best
thinking
forward
on
developments
and
ideas
for
for
the
future
of
this
city.
So
I'm
excited
to
be
here-
and
I
want
to
thank
thank
you.
You
know
everyone
so
much.
J
J
Thank
you
to
mayor
michelle
wu
chief,
arthur
jemison
and
the
many
willing
partners
engaged
in
this
process
to
forge
a
more
equitable
path
to
prosperity
across
a
more
represented
cross-section
of
our
population.
Here
in
boston.
We
look
forward
to
seeing
the
bold
and
creative
solutions.
Both
the
city
and
the
commercial
real
estate
community
will
advance
to
increase
economic
prosperity
for
the
residents
of
boston.
Thank
you
all
so
much.
G
Hi
everyone,
I'm
devin
quirk
deputy
chief
development
transformation
at
the
dpda.
I
want
to
start
by
thanking
colleen
and
her
team
who
have
helped
us
craft
the
diversity,
inclusion
approach
that
we're
already
using
on
our
public
real
estate,
which
today
is
weighted
at
25
of
our
overall
evaluation,
we're
bidding
public
projects
and
it's
been
used
on
18
public
real
estate
projects.
To
date,
we
wouldn't
have
been
here
without
you,
so
thank
you
very
much
for
your
support.
G
Today's
announcement
is
on
including
ddi
and
article
80
is
important
for
two
very
big
reasons.
First,
as
you've
already
heard,
the
policy
itself
will
help
us
continue
to
build
a
more
inclusive
and
equitable
city
and
to
the
best
of
our
knowledge.
This
is
the
we
are
the
first
city
in
the
in
the
nation
to
include
analysis
of
dei
in
private
real
estate
development
as
part
of
the
permitting
process.
G
Marawu
has
charged
us
with
putting
social
equity,
environmental
resilience
and
affordable
housing
at
the
center
of
everything
that
we
do
in
planning
and
development.
In
addition,
we
know
that
bostonians
desire
a
more
a
development
process
that
is
more
transparent,
more
predictable
and
more
accountable.
G
Today's
dei
policy
is
bringing
daylight
to
the
participation
of
minority
and
women-owned
businesses
in
boston's
real
estate
development
industry.
It's
doing
so
in
a
predictable
way
and
a
transparent
way
that
provides
those
teams
that
are
doing
great
things
with
a
platform
to
share
their
stories
about
their
achievements,
and
it's
also
establishing
accountability
for
raising
the
bar
across
every
large-scale
development
in
our
city.
G
This
is
exactly
the
type
of
innovative
policy
and
values
driven
reform
that
the
mayor
has
asked
us
to
make
to
this
agency,
and
since
I'm
here,
I
want
to
share
a
couple
other
updates
on
where
we
are
in
the
transformation
space
first
off
along
the
lines
of
equity,
the
mayor's
out
or
sorry,
along
with
equity.
The
mayor's
asked
us
to
make
resilience
a
central
tenet
of
our
work.
Last
month,
the
bpda
board
approved
a
policy
that
would
lead
to
the
decarbonization
of
13
million
square
feet
of
bpd
real
estate.
G
This
would
happen
by
2030
for
the
assets
we
directly
control
and
by
2040
for
our
ground
lease
properties.
This
is
an
important
example
of
our
leadership
on
mitigating
the
impacts
of
climate
change
and
something
you
should
expect
to
hear
from
us
more
on
the
future
and
while
resilience,
equity
and
affordability
are
central
themes
of
our
planning
work.
G
And
finally,
I'm
also
excited
to
share
that
we've
been
hard
at
work.
Building
a
transformation
team
here
at
the
bpda
part
of
our
theory
of
change
is
that
we
cannot
expect
the
same
people
that
are
running
the
core
functions
of
the
agency
to
also
have
the
capacity
to
plan
and
execute
all
the
major
strategic
and
operational
changes
ahead.
The
fact
that
we're
resourcing
transformations
separately
from
day-to-day
work
demonstrates
we
are
serious
about
people-centric
planning
and
advancing
transparency,
predictability
and
accountability
in
everything.
G
A
And
we
are
so
excited
arthur
modeled
this
we
are
so
excited
to
create
this
role,
a
place
where
there
would
be
vision
around
how
all
of
this
fits
together
and
how
the
ways
in
which
our
residents
connect
with
and
feel
the
outcomes
and
the
fruits
of
the
the
work
of
this
team
that
I'm
not.
I
wasn't
sure
we
were
going
to
find
someone
who
could
actually
meet
everything
that
we
were
looking
for
and
and
then
amazingly
diana
agreed
to
join
our
team.
A
She's,
a
landscape,
architect,
she's
a
mom,
and
she
truly
brings
the
vision,
big
picture,
sweeping
passion
for
what
design
could
be
and
shares
a
connection
around
the
little
details
that
can
signal.
Most
of
all,
who
feels
welcome,
who
belongs
in
a
neighborhood
in
a
space
and
how
all
everything
that
we're
not
just
going
to
think
about
the
buildings
and
the
size
and
the
impacts
from
the
built
environment.
But
everything
in
between
that
really
stitches
it
all
together.
A
C
Thank
you
so
much
mayor
what
an
introduction
I'm
honored
to
be
here
and
thank
you
for
having
me
I'm
delighted
to
sort
of
start
the
work
that
we're
embarking
upon
here
with
the
agency
and
to
elevate
the
importance
of
urban
design
in
our
city.
C
I'm
looking
forward
to
working
closely
with
chief
jameson
chief
park,
deputy
chief
cork
to
really
deliver
on
a
vision
that
really
brings
together
all
of
these
amazing
ideas
and
this
energy
that
is
really
fueling
the
future
of
our
city
and
to
also
look
closely
at
the
bpda
processes
around
urban
design.
That
can
be
improved
over
time.
C
My
hope
is
to
create
a
comprehensive
and
cohesive
vision
for
the
city,
really
focusing
on
a
urban
design
vision,
that's
rooted
in
place,
a
vision
that
represents
the
inherent
diversity
of
our
city
across
all
of
the
neighborhoods
within
within
our
beautiful
city,
and
I
strongly
believe
in
the
power
of
diversity,
not
only
within
policy,
but
how
it
lands
on
the
ground
and
particularly
looking
at
how
diversity,
equity
and
inclusion
can
start
to
make
its
way
into
all
parts
of
our
planning
and
design
process
and
to
start
to
create
opportunities
for
bostonians
to
see
themselves
in
every
detail
across
our
city
and
from
you
know
the
day-to-day,
whether
you're
commuting
to
work
or
taking
your
kids
to
the
park.
C
I'm
also
incredibly
excited
about
building
upon
the
incredible
climate
change
work
that
is
happening.
Devon
mentioned
a
lot
of
the
resiliency
work
underway
and
I
believe
in
positioning
urban
design
as
an
opportunity
to
establish
a
heterogeneous
design
vision.
That
is
a
vision.
That's
really
centered,
on
celebrating
characteristics
of
diversity,
to
improve
resilience
of
our
communities,
not
just
at
an
environmental
level,
but
also
socially
how
we
can
start
to
really
address
some
of
these
issues.
C
Everything
from
the
heat
waves
we've
been
having
all
the
way
to
sea
level
rise,
really
looking
at
how
our
urban
fabric
can
facilitate
solutions
to
many
of
the
crises
that
we're
facing
in
our
city.
C
So
together,
I'm
really
excited
to
work
with
this
incredible
leadership,
team
and
the
mayor
to
really
realize
this
vision
to
lead
with
planning
lead
development
and
to
ensure
that
we're
really
thinking
about
every
single
little
detail,
from
facades
to
your
sidewalks
to
park
spaces,
creating
a
space
for
everyone
in
the
city,
so
that
we
can
all
feel
a
sense
of
belonging
and
empathize
with
each
other
and
build
a
really
healthy
democracy
into
our
future.
Thank
you.
K
A
Specifically
about
the
dei
policy,
so
our
goal
throughout
city
government
is
to
set
the
vision
for
where
we're
headed
prove
that
it
makes
a
difference
when
residents
get
involved
and
try
to
move
fastest
of
all
on
the
things
that
are
immediately
within
our
control,
and
so,
as
you
heard
the
things
that
are
immediately
within
the
city's
control,
we
are
moving
and
shaking
on
the
contracts
that
are
going
out.
A
The
projects
that
are
publicly
owned,
that
we
can
add
those
heightened
requirements
on,
because
there
isn't
the
full
cities
in
massachusetts,
don't
have
the
full
legal
authority
to
add
those
heightened
restrictions
across
the
board
entirely.
This
will
give
us
really
great
information
on
where
we
need
to
make
a
difference.
That
could
mean.
Is
it
a
certain
type
of
subcontractor
that
we're
seeing
the
biggest
gaps
in?
Is
it
a
certain
size
of
project
that
we
see
the
need
for
more
resources?
A
So
this
will,
you
know
you
can't
manage
what
you're
not
measuring,
and
so
this
will
at
least
signal
and
force
all
of
us
to
be
incredibly
intentional
about
what
matters
in
this
process
that
it's
not
just
about
height
and
floor
area
ratio
who
is
benefiting
and
what
that
impact
will
feel
like
on
the
ground.
Do
you
want
to
comment
more
specifically.
F
Sure
so
yeah
well,
I
might
also
say
I
know
the
development
community
can
do
this.
They
do
it
when
they're
asked-
and
I
think
I've
just
got
the
highest
expectations
and
know
that
they're
going
to
innovate
in
this
space,
the
way
that
they
have,
and
so
many
others.
So
I
guess
maybe
I'll
be
disappointed,
but
I
don't
expect
to
be.
I
expect
to
be
excited
about
the
kind
of
responses
we
get
because
again,
the
kind
of
response
that
we've
gotten
with
canvas
different
groups
of
people
is
eagerness
to
be
part
of
this
work.
F
G
I
think
an
important
distinction
to
point
out
is
that
when
we
run
a
public
bid
for
public
land,
that's
inherently
a
competition,
so
there's
a
scoring
factor
involved
when
we
are
doing
a
regulatory
process
for
private
development.
That's
a
different
process!
There's
no
there's
no
scoring
of
a
a
submission.
It's
about.
Are
you
providing
all
the
information
to
import
the
community
about?
What's
going
on
so
that?
So
that's
a
there's,
a
there's,
a
clear
distinction
between
public
land
and
private
land.
I
want
to
clarify.
A
To
be
able
to
do
that,
but
we
are
trying,
wherever
possible,
as
a
city,
to
walk
the
walk
as
well
and
ourselves,
and
the
projects
that
we're
taking
on
in
the
contracts
that
we're
giving
out
outside
of
real
estate
and
construction
as
well
to
show
what
we
believe
is
the
the
minimum
standard
that
everyone
should
be
hitting
and
again.
This
isn't
about
carving
out
additional
or
separate
payments
or
contributions
for
a
separate
that
connecting
our
growth
to
everyone
in
our
city
benefits.
A
A
The
biggest
factor
that
I
hear
from
our
large
companies
and
and
ceos
everywhere
is
that
in
this
moment,
where
workforce
is
so
fluid
and
mobile
and
there's
remote
options
in
many
in
a
growing
number
of
industries,
what
it
looks
like
on
the
ground
and
how
where
people
want
to
live,
where
people
feel
and
see
themselves
reflected
where
we
have
the
the
most
access
to
opportunity,
in
fact,
is
what
will
ensure
that
our
economy
can
keep
growing.
A
We
were
just
discussing
this
right
before
okay
I'll
start
and
then
I'm
sure
the
chief
will
will
jump
into.
We
know
that
the
structures
that
we
have
now
were
created
decades
ago,
in
a
very
urgent
moment
for
the
city
of
boston
and
for
cities
across
the
country.
When
the
challenges
we
were
facing
then
very
intensely
were
around
blight
right.
A
What
used
to
be
right
outside
our
window
here
flight
from
the
city,
the
need
to
draw
back
investment
very
quickly,
we
are
and
and
no
longer
we
are
not
not
only
in
a
different
situation
facing
different
challenges,
but
the
parts
of
the
city
where
we
are
having
those
conversations
and
using
the
same
tools
that
were
created
in
the
1960s
are
somewhat
of
a
mismatch.
Today,
we
are
in
just
as
intense
and
urgent
moment
in
other
big
challenges,
and
you
heard
them
outlined
here:
affordability,
resiliency,
equity.
A
We
need
the
ability
to
move
on
big
issues,
but
that
has
to
be
transparent.
It
has
to
be
in
partnership
with
community
members
and
accountable
to
our
residents.
It
has
to
be
predictable
for
our
community
members
at
large,
and
so
that
is
the
goal
that
we
are
working
our
way
through
several
short-term
options
and
bigger
picture
legal
proposals
to
the
state,
for
example.
That
would
get
us
to
the
bigger
picture
change.
A
I
hope
we
can
move
things
fast,
we'll
see
how
long
state
processes
take.
We
will
have
even
more
robust
planning
in
the
city
of
boston.
By
the
end
of
the
term,
we
will
have
even
more
supported
and
equitable
growth
and
development
in
the
city
by
the
end
of
the
term,
and
we
will
figure
out
whether
or
not
the
state
legislature
will
pass
the
exact
laws
that
we
hope
we
would
need
to
send
up
to
formalize
things
you
know
within.
However,
many
days
are
left
in
the
term.
K
F
The
mayor
answered
it
pretty
completely.
I
don't
really
have
that
much
to
add
to
it.
I
think
it's
a
it's
an
answer.
We
get
asked
a
lot,
so
I
don't
know
if
I
would
add
too
much,
but
obviously
we're
still
open
to
your
questions.
F
I
guess
I'd
say
I
appreciate
all
the
questions
and
I
think
that
they're
all
reasonable
and
appropriate.
I
think
we're
almost
focused
at
some
level
on
some
of
the
wrong
things.
I
feel
like
we're
we're
trying
to
focus
on
how
we
create
have
planning
web
development
what's
the
fastest
way
to
do
that
with
the
most
effectiveness
abolishing
the
bpda.
Is
it
it's
out
there
you've
seen
it
you're
responding
to
it,
but
what
we're
trying
to
do
is
take
everything
that
was
in
that
report
distill
it
down
and
create
a
series
of
steps.
F
A
On
every
issue,
we
are
looking
to
be
focused
on
action
and
outcomes.
What
this
will
mean
for
residents
in
our
neighborhoods
day
by
day,
and
what
we've
seen
with
how
the
structures
that
have
been
set
up
the
organizational
structures
from
several
decades
ago
is
that
they
haven't
been
delivering
the
types
of
outcomes
in
the
urgency
that
our
residents
need
on
the
ground
and
so
in
some
ways,
thinking
just
about
where
people
sit
on
different
floors
or
what
the
lines
look
like
on
boxes
of
an
org
chart.
Isn't
the
isn't
the
first
isn't
the
leading
issue?
A
It's
what
do
we
want
to
accomplish
and
deliver,
and
then
what
is
the
best
structure
to
actually
make
that
happen
efficiently
and
effectively?
We
need
more
planning
to
happen
in
the
city
of
boston,
so
I
think
sometimes
people
hear
the
the
push
to
change
our
way
of
doing
business
as
an
erasure
of
efforts
that
we
in
fact
badly
need.
We
need
planning,
we
need
to
manage
development
in
our
city.
A
Those
processes
probably
need
more
resources
in
some
ways,
but
where
that
how
that
fits
and
how
that
will
be
redirected
towards
resiliency
affordability
and
equity
will
likely
come
under
a
different
legal
form
at
some
point
but
we're.
We
hope
that
it
won't
matter
to
residents
what
the
actual
name
is
and
where
people
are
sitting,
because
they
will
start
to
feel
it
right
away
of
a
new
way
of
doing
business
in
boston.
