From YouTube: East Boston Climate Summit
Description
From flood prevention to long term efficiency, East Boston is at the center of Boston's discussion around climate change and emergency preparedness. Leading those fights through advocacy are Mayor Walsh and U.S. Senator Ed Markey who spoke at the East Boston Climate Summit, held at Mario Umana Academy in East Boston.
A
A
A
Both
national
leaders
on
climate
change,
but
I
want
to
read
something
quickly
because
the
mayor
said
I
have
something
to
say
on
a
couple
of
these
matters
and
I
think
they're
really
important
to
the
neighborhood
and
to
the
nation
on
the
senator
Marquis
behalf.
So
we
again,
we
have
two
great
leaders,
we're
very,
very
glad
they
have
here
and
I
think
that
what
also
doesn't
says
that
East
Boston
is
literally
on
the
map
and
Senate
I
bet
you've
been
here
thousands
of
times
and
not
knowing
your
mana
specifically.
A
So
we
know
that
East
Boston
the
old
days
right,
say
we're
more
than
an
airport
and
I
think
the
mayor
in
the
center
to
actually
know
that.
So
your
representative
of
that
and
that's
why
the
protections
that
they
want
to
fight
for
they're,
putting
in
budgets
and
is
what
level
or
the
other
fighting
for
in
Washington
are
really
important
for
us.
So
all
the
stuff
we're
talking
about
today.
These
are
the
ears
of
people
who
you
want
to
are
going
to
put
it
in
their
budget
to
make
things
happen
for
us
in
the
community.
A
So
let
me
just
read
a
brief
statement
about
mayor
Walsh
on
climate
change.
Then
senator
Markey
I'm
glad
they've
been
able
to
meet
with
you.
I,
don't
know.
If
they
have
time
for
questions
I
know
they
have
busy
schedules
but
I'll,
let
you
guys
take
it
from
there.
Everything
gonna!
Thank
you
both
for
coming
mayor,
Marty
Walsh.
In
the
wake
of
the
Trump
administration
decision
to
withdraw
from
the
Paris
Accords
mayor
Walsh,
said:
Boston
will
not
stand
by
given
what's
at
stake.
A
We
are
committed
to
addressing
climate
change
head-on
and
will
accelerate
Boston's
efforts
to
become
carbon
neutral
by
2050.
Finding
climate
change
means
fighting
for
all
those
affected
by
worsening
air
quality,
extreme
heat,
eroding
coastlines
issues
that
will
continue
to
impact
residents
for
generations
to
come,
no
matter
what
their
background
in
color
place.
Origin
as
mayor
I
will
continue
to
work
with
us
mayors
and
cities
around
the
world
to
uphold
the
tenants
of
the
Paris
climate
agreement
to
protect
Boston
against
the
very
real
impacts
of
climate
change.
A
B
B
You
know
we're
very
proud
of
our
immigrant
population
here
in
Boston,
20
percent
of
the
residents
of
our
city
were
born
in
another
country,
48
percent
of
the
residents
in
our
city
of
first-generation
like
me,
which
makes
us
70
over
75
percent
of
us,
either
just
a
boat
ride
or
a
plane
ride
away
from
being
an
immigrant
and
I
say
that,
because
my
parents
came
here
in
the
in
this
in
the
50s,
they
came
on
a
plane.
Well,
my
grandfather
came
here.
Both
of
them
came
here.
They
didn't
stay
that
came
in
the
20s.
B
They
came
on
a
boat
across
the
Atlantic
Ocean.
So
it's
important
for
us
to
remember
that
as
a
city,
I
want
to
thank
some
of
the
similar
partners
here.
The
green
ribbon
commission,
the
Bob
foundation
Macomb
all
the
Massachusetts,
our
Office
of
Energy
Environmental
Affairs,
the
coastal
zone
management,
which
whole
group
want
to
thank
state
state
representative,
Adrienne
Maduro,
who
is
a
champion
in
so
many
different
fronts.
I
want
to
thank
him
for
being
here
with
us.
B
Today
we
were
just
talking
the
other
day,
the
other
day
with
youth
youth
connect,
and
we
talked
about
bringing
over
some
opportunities
for
counselors
to
be
in
the
with
the
working
with
the
police
already
needs,
Boston
it
and
I
love.
The
representative,
because
he's
focused
on
the
kids
he's
working
with
us
on
an
affordable
housing
he's
working
with
us
on
the
climate.
B
I
understand
all
the
importance
being
said
represent
them
at
a
neighborhood
like
ICI,
it's
so
important
that
you
have
to
keep
an
eye
on
all
of
it.
You
can't
just
focus
on
one
area,
so
thank
you
for
the
great
work
you
do.
We're
joined
by
City
Council,
salimah
Tina,
as
we
all
know,
Sal's
days,
are
winding
down
as
a
city
councilor.
B
But
again
you
know
we
were
able
to
bring
the
first
ever
hearing
not
hearing,
but
we
made
our
announcement
for
our
capital
budget
needs
Boston,
because
Salas
was
instrumental
in
making
sure
that
some
of
the
money
that
was
in
our
budget
was
was
actually
geared
towards
Halloween,
resiliency
and
housing
in
both.
Sometimes
those
issues
are
the
same
and
I
want
to
take
the
concept
for
his
years
of
service
as
a
city,
council
and
I
want
to
thank
him
for
his
work
here
as
well
and
being
here
at
this
point,
so
Thank
You
counsel,.
B
And
we're
joined
we're
on
an
and
I
wanted
to
be
joined
by
and
we're
all
honored
to
be
doing
by
our
United
States
Senator
and
Marky
Edie
yesterday
held
what
I
thought
was
one
of
the
most
important
press
conferences
somebody
could
hold.
He
was
talking
about
the
opioid
crisis
in
response
to
at
the
White
House
made
this
big
announcement
the
other
day
they
were
gonna
tackle
a
the
opioid
crisis.
B
The
problem
was,
there
was
very
little
money
that
came
with
the
prompt
book
with
the
tackling
event
and
instead
of
dealing
with
it
as
a
crisis,
he
called
it
an
emergency
which
means
in
ninety
days
that
that
terminology
goes
away
and
anyone
in
this
room
and
I
know
a
lot
of
people
in
this
room,
including
myself
and
my
and
my
family
members.
When
you
have
a
loved
one,
that's
debts
dealing
with
heroin,
drugs
or
alcoholism.
B
B
As
as
Bostonians
water
is
shaped
on
history,
it
shaped
our
economy
and
it's
it's
it's
the
very
land
that
we
stand
on.
Being
a
port
in
a
coastal
city
means
we
have
a
close
relationship
with
natural
resources,
and
we
know
how
powerful
they
can
be.
The
residents
of
each
Boxton
and
the
residents
of
challenged
town
know
better
than
anyone
else
with
climate
change
and
the
way
we
adapt
to
it
the
one
around
us.
It's
never
been
more
important
than
it
is
right.
B
Now
we
launched
climate
ready
Boston,
we
brought
together
the
region's
top
climate
scientists
I
want
to
thank
Austin
Blackman
and
his
office
and
everyone
at
the
environment
office
in
the
state
city,
for
the
incredible
work
that
they
do.
There's
a
lot
of
people
here
to
be
an
astronaut
I,
can't
admit
you
all,
but
please
raise
your
hand.
Could
you
guys?
The
neighbors
have
done
incredible
side.
B
With
we've
identified
ways
to
try
and
stay
ahead
of
these
challenges
and
now
we're
making
them
a
reality,
starting
in
the
neighborhoods
that
are
most
vulnerable.
This
report
is
a
road
map.
It
describes
your
Civic
areas
that
we
can
take
to
prepare
these
communities
for
the
changes
ahead
and
make
them
more
resilient.
Today,
we're
going
to
announce
a
couple
of
first
steps
that
we're
going
to
take
here
in
each
Steve,
we're
gonna
focus
on
marginal
Street
and
border
street
flood
pathways.
We
will
install
a
deployable
flood
wall
across
the
Greenway
under
the
Summer
Street.
B
This
seven
foot
wall
will
protect
forty-three
hundred
residents.
Seventy
businesses
and
critical
infrastructure
in
East
Boston
implementation
includes
an
operational
plan
for
deploying
the
flood
wall
in
advance.
Don't
flood
something
that's
important
for
us
over
in
Charlestown
we're
gonna
focus
on
the
Sullivan
square
and
the
Ryan
playground
flood
patterns.
We
will
elevate
a
section
of
Main
Street
in
front
of
the
shraddh
Center
driveway
that
will
block
the
main
flood
pathway.
This
will
protect
about
250
residences,
60
businesses,
first
responder
out
firehouse
there
and
rub
the
Phenom
on
the
pass.
B
This
work
will
be
integrated
into
the
replica
dev
Sullivan
square
redesign
projects.
These
steps
will
be
a
collaboration
between
the
BPD,
a
Boston
Parks
and
Recreation,
the
Boston
Transportation
Department
and
any
and
all
of
our
community
partners,
as
well
as
other
state
and
federal
agencies.
As
we
move
forward.
These
are
exactly
the
kind
of
climate
adaptations
solutions
that
were
outlined
in
our
citywide.
Imagine
Boston
2030
plan
we're
using
every
single
tool
that
we
have
to
make
sure
that
our
neighborhoods
a
more
resilient.
B
Some
of
these
physical
solutions
will
keep
rising
tide
at
Bank,
some
of
them
a
human
solutions,
and
we
know
in
order
to
be
successful,
we
need
strong
community
involvement,
that's
exactly
what
we
have
in
East
Boston
and
in
Charlestown.
These
communities
are
incredibly
passionate
and
proactive.
More
than
four
hundred
residents
from
East
Boston
and
Charles
the
design
process
they
participate
in
meetings
and
community
events,
open
houses
and
online
surveys.
Another
way
these
communities
are
showing
up
for
climate
justice
is
to
rock
climate
ready,
Boston
leaders
program.
B
The
green
of
a
team
has
trained
more
than
70
leaders
to
talk
about
climate
change
in
their
neighborhoods.
Many
of
them
are
from
East,
Boston
and
chil-seong.
Some
of
you
are
here
today.
It's
really
hard
to
see
how
dedicated
the
youth
on
this
working
when
I
talked
about
these
youth
that
are
right
behind
me.
I
want
to
thank
them.
I
want
to
thank
the
NOAA
youth
environmental
crew
for
all
they
do,
but
I
also
want
to
thank
because
they
are
the
future.
That's
why
we're
all
in
this
work.
We've
seen
a
devastation
earlier
this.
B
This
fall
of
the
hurricanes
that
hit
Houston
Florida
Puerto
Rico,
the
Caribbean
islands.
We
saw
the
damage
that
was
done
there
and
Houston
the
damage
wasn't
necessary.
Structural
damage
was
flooding
damage.
It
was
an
opportunity
for
us
to
be
able
to
to
look
at
what's
happened
there
and
to
be
able
to
prevent
that
from
happening
here
in
the
city.
You
can
go
a
long
way.
These
young
people
are
working
with
us
to
make
that
happen.
B
We've
work
with
public
works
to
bring
green
infrastructure
to
the
central
square
redesign
and,
as
we
think
about
the
future
of
the
city
as
we
design
the
future
we're
going
to
be
looking
at
all
of
the
different
ways
of
protecting
the
city.
These
young
people
showing
us
how
to
do
the
work
and
they're
making
a
difference
and
we're
all
proud
of
them.
The
kind
of
activism
in
the
kind
of
community
activism
involves
awesome
and
how
to
understand
and
help
us
with
the
needs
in
our
community.
B
I
want
to
thank
all
of
you
for
the
work
you
do
here.
I
want
to
thank
you
for
creating
more
green
space.
I
want
to
thank
you
for
fighting
more
access
to
the
waterfront.
I
want
to
also
say
the
same
thing:
to
protect
us
from
floods.
Heat
waves
also
benefit
communities
when
the
weather
is
great.
So
as
we
continue
to
build
out
the
East
Boston
waterfront,
what
you're
doing
there
is
protecting
your
community,
your
talent,
your
neighborhood,
something
that's
really
important.
This
work
of
in
Charlestown
and
East
has
been
a
true
community
effort.
B
It
shows
us
what
we're
capable
of
when
we
work
together
and
I
hope
this
model
for
implementation
strategies
will
be
putting
us,
but
allow
us
the
opportunity
to
look
at
putting
this
citywide
I
want
to.
Thank
you
once
again
for
everyone
who
works
in
this
report.
You're
the
heart
and
soul,
into
making
these
communities
more
resilient
on
behalf
of
the
city
of
Boston.
I
truly
want
to
thank
all
of
you
for
being
part
of
this.
Our
work
is
just
getting
started
for
us.
Climate
action
is
about
social
justice.
B
It's
about
healthy
safety
and
well-being
of
our
community.
That's
why
we're
leading
the
way,
despite
what's
happening
in
Washington,
together
we're
going
to
continue
to
honor
our
commitment
in
the
Paris
agreement.
Now
one
thing
senator
Markey
for
his
great
work.
There
we're
gonna,
continue
to
be
the
most
energy
efficient
city
in
America,
something
that
we
have
not
for
three
years
in
a
row,
something
we're
proud
of,
and
we're
going
to
keep
leading
the
way
in
adaptation
as
well.
B
We're
going
to
continue
to
find
creative
solutions
to
complex
problems,
we're
going
to
continue
to
be
a
stronger
City
and
continue
to
move
our
city
forward
turn
to
our
rules,
and
we
will
continue
to
thrive
in
our
coastal
environment.
I
want
to
end
by
thanking
you
all
today
for
the
four
alumnus
that
come
here
today.
Phil
I
want
to
thank
you
as
well
the
great
work
you're
doing
and
to
the
people
of
East,
Boston
and
child's
town
or
area
from
today.
Thank
you.
We
have
to
continue
this
work.
B
A
A
Maybe
you
did
mention
to
find
people
I
also
want
to
mention
rich
McGinnis
and
the
BD
PA
on
us
always
want
to
say
BR
a
provision
I'll
do
my
best
to
keep
off
of
that
with
Gina
fee
and
doctrine.
East,
Boston,
Transportation
Secretary
is
also
here
and
others
who
I
may
not
be
able
to
see
right
now,
but
I
think
we
can
see
why
the
mayor's
deserving
in
the
second
term,
if
that's
a
blog
than
any
case.
Thank
you
for
acknowledging
our
youth.
A
A
Call
they
still
here
Oscar,
if
you,
if
you
are
raise
your
hand,
we
were
very
happy
to
encourage
you
this
morning,
which
is
a
little
on
time.
Oh
glad
that
you
made
a
great
message,
we're
glad
to
have
people
who
don't
always
speak
English,
be
a
part
of
this
effort.
It's
really
important,
as
the
mayor
said,
senator
Markey.
It's
really
good
to
have
you
here.
A
Actually
I've
seen
you
on
TV
for
how
many
years
now
and
knowing
that
you've
been
had
our
backs
line,
climate
change
and
sea
level
rise
and
all
those
things
four
years
has
been
a
real
pleasure.
So
it's
it's
real
honor
to
actually
welcome
you
here
to
today,
not
just
to
say
gee.
This
is
nice
and
do
the
stop
at
a
tour,
but
to
be
here
for
I.
Think
as
the
mayor's
announcement
they'll
protect
part
of
your
constituents
in
the
community.
So
we
know
you've
done
a
lot.
The
Senators
Warren's
doing
a
lot.
A
It's
a
real
pleasure.
They
have
you.
Have
you
here,
I'm
going
to
read
a
small
bio
as
you
come
up?
You're,
not
a
small
bio,
but
senator
Markey
has
been
the
chair
of
the
Senate
climate
change
task
force
from
2007
to
2010
senator
Merrik.
You
served
as
chair
of
the
Senate
Select
Committee
on
energy
independence
and
global
warming.
I
think
you've
done
a
lot
of
work
on
telecommunications
of
those
kind
of
things
as
well,
so
always
to
be
happy
to
consumer
this
to
constituents.
I
think
the
senator
has
been
there
and
has
our
back.
C
Thank
You
Phil,
so
much
thank
you
for
everything
that
you
do
for
the
community
and,
to
be
honest
with
you
to
be
here
at
Mario,
Yamana
Academy
means
the
world
to
me.
He
was
one
of
my
heroes.
He
was
just
this
incredibly
great
politician
in
the
best
sense
of
the
word
as
an
advocate,
but
as
someone
who
brought
people
together
and
that's
really
what
this
Academy
is
all
about,
that's
what
today
is
all
about
as
well
Phil.
C
You
said
you
know
that
the
mayor
is
giving
leadership
now
to
make
sure
that
Boston
is
the
leader
in
ensuring
that
there's
a
response
to
Donald
Trump
pulling
the
United
States
out
of
the
Paris
agreement
out
of
an
agreement
that
the
United
Nations
all
expected,
the
United
States
to
be
the
leader
on.
But
when
you
look
around
this
room,
when
you
look
around
this
school,
what
you
see
is
a
United
Nations
of
students.
C
You
see
the
green
generation
rising
up
across
all
nationalities
here
in
the
city
of
Boston
to
be
the
leaders
that
Donald
Trump
is
not
being
to
say
that
they
will
not
stop,
and
so
we
thank
all
of
you.
We
thank
all
of
the
young
people
in
the
city
of
Boston
all
of
leadership,
and
we
and
we
thank
you
Sal
for
everything
that
you
have
done
throughout
all
of
your
career,
all
of
the
great
leadership
which
you
have
shown
and
Adrienne.
C
We
thank
you
for
everything
that
you've
already
done,
and
everything
that
you're
going
to
do
in
this
great
career,
which
is
now
unfolding
here
in
the
city
of
Boston.
Thank
you
so
much
and
to
your
great
mayor,
Marty
Walsh,
who
has
made
Boston
the
greenest,
the
cleanest,
the
most
energy-efficient
city
in
the
United
States.
He
has
transformed
the
city
of
Boston
into
one
big
Green
Monster.
C
That
is
what
this
city
is
now
the
leader
in
every
one
of
those
issues,
and
it
is
because
of
Maudie
Walsh's
leadership
and
commitment
to
both
climate
action
and
economic
development.
That
Boston
has
become
the
national
model
in
addressing
climate
change,
but
unfortunately,
Boston
and
all
of
Massachusetts
are
all
ready,
feeling
the
devastating
impact
of
climate
change
and
the
extreme
weather
that
results
just
a
couple
of
years
ago.
The
current
sea-level
trajectory
here
was
called
quote:
Miami
Beach
in
Boston.
C
As
temperatures
and
sea
levels
rise
last
year,
climate
ready
Boston
noted
that
between
10
and
20
percent
of
Charlestown
East
Boston,
downtown
and
South
Boston
will
face
high
tide
flooding,
even
when
there
is
no
storm
and
our
winters
are
warming.
According
to
the
scientists
at
the
University
of
New
Hampshire
New
England
winters
are
now
four
degrees
warmer
than
they
were
in
1965.
In
other
words,
we
now
have
Philadelphia's
weather
from
1965.
C
We
don't
have
the
Philadelphia
Eagles
thank
God,
but
we
have
their
weather
and
we
have
to
make
sure
that
we
now
take
the
actions
which
are
necessary
in
order
to
in
order
to
avoid
a
further
intensification
of
this
problem.
Boston
is
the
fourth
most
climate,
vulnerable
city.
In
the
United
States-
and
it
is
the
eighth
most
vulnerable
worldwide
in
property
risk.
Global
warming
is
an
a
distant
threat
to
Boston.
C
It
is
our
reality
now,
but
while
the
city
of
Boston
is
on
the
leading
edge
of
experiencing
the
impacts
of
our
changing
climate,
thanks
to
the
leadership
of
Mayor
Walsh,
it
is
also
on
the
leading
edge
of
preparing
for
its
impacts.
Climate
ready
Boston
is
the
city
of
Boston's
forward-thinking
initiative
to
adapt
to
climate
change
by
working
with
partners
at
all
levels
of
government,
federal
state
and
local
and
in
the
private
sector
it
is
working
to
protect
Boston
as
severe
weather
and
sea
level
rise
create
more
challenges.
C
We
know
there
is
much
more
to
be
done,
but
that's
why
Boston
is
already
getting
started
and
that's
why
this
new
report
released
today
is
so
critical.
It
outlines
the
stark
threat
which
we
face,
but
it
also
makes
the
clear
case
that
the
benefits
of
readying
ourselves
for
climate
impacts
today
far
outweigh
the
cost.
C
Acting
now
will
save
tens
of
millions
of
dollars
in
the
short
term
and
hundreds
of
millions
of
dollars
in
the
decades
to
come,
and
we
are
so
fortunate
to
have
mayor
Walsh
and
his
team
at
climate
ready
Boston
initiative,
taking
this
threat
seriously
and
committing
to
take
steps
towards
a
climate.
Smart
future.
The
planet
is
running
a
fever.
There
are
no
emergency
rooms
for
planets,
so
we
have
to
take
preventative
steps,
preventative
care
to
avoid
the
worst
most
catastrophic
impacts.
C
That
is
what
the
mayor
is
announcing
today
in
East,
Boston
and
Charlestown,
and
it's
just
the
beginning
of
what
he
has
planned
for
this
city.
It
is
to
put
in
place
the
preventative
steps
that
will
help
to
avoid
the
most
catastrophic
consequences
from
impacting
negatively
this
city
steps
like
installing
a
deployable
flood
wall
in
East,
Boston's
Greenway
and
elevating
a
section
of
the
Main
Street
in
Charlestown
and
additional
flood
protections
for
the
area
and
elevating
parks
and
pathways
at
Mario,
Yamana
and
Shaw
Plaza
projects
called
long-term
planning
in
Charlestown
will
also
be
hugely
important.
C
Like
redeveloping
shafts,
Center,
waterfront
and
elevated
parks,
nature-based
features
mixed-use
buildings.
We
cannot
ignore
the
impacts
of
climate
change
on
our
neighborhoods,
but
we
can
plan
for
them,
even
as
we
work
to
cut
the
pollution
that
is
causing
our
world
to
warm.
Sadly,
the
leadership
in
the
White
House
and
at
the
federal
level,
deny
the
clear
and
present
danger
of
climate
change,
but
Donald
Trump's
climate
science
is
as
bogus
as
a
degree
from
Trump
University.
We
know
that
he
is
dependent
upon
the
Koch
brothers
for
his
science.
C
He
calls
it
a
global
warming
hoax,
but
in
the
next
30
years
it
is
estimated
that
for
210
days
a
year,
his
mar-a-lago
resort
will
be
flooded
by
at
least
a
foot
of
water
mar-a-lago
will
become
Maura
Lagoon.
Maybe
then
he
will
understand
the
danger
that
Boston
is
facing
the
danger
that
all
of
these
coastal
cities
in
the
United
States
and
around
the
planet
are
facing,
but
no
matter
what
Lies
and
misinformation
the
climate
deniers
try
to
peddle.
The
facts
are
still
with
us.
The
economic
opportunities
are
also
with
us.
C
We
need
global
climate
leaders
like
Marty
Walsh,
more
than
ever,
without
leadership
at
the
federal
level,
we
will
need
our
cities
to
take
the
lead,
and
that
is
what
Boston
does
best
so
I
thank
the
mayor
for
his
leadership
for
his
partnership
and
working
together,
not
just
as
the
leader
for
the
world,
with
the
leader
in
every
single
neighborhood
in
the
city
of
Boston,
to
carefully
craft
a
plan
for
each
neighborhood
to
give
them
the
protections
which
they
are
going
to
need.
So
we
thank
all.
D
C
A
Thank
You
senator
I
think
the
senator
said
it
something
at
the
end
that
I
resonated
with
music.
There
are
two
elected
officials,
but
we're
all
leaders
in
a
certain
range.
So
we
have
people
that
we
need
to
put
up
there
who
have
great
values
who
represent
what
we
want,
what
we
need,
what
we're
gonna
do
with
the
communities
want
to
do.
A
You
know
here
diverse
voices
throughout
the
world,
so
we
have
two
great
people
at
the
top
and
then
there's
a
US
we're
a
little
bit
lower
in
terms
of
the
elected
scale,
but
that's
where
it
comes
from
the
power
that
comes
from
the
people
who
have
good
ideas
who
want
to
make
something
happen
to
the
neighborhood
and
I'm,
certainly
going
to
be
doing
it
in
Boston
and
within
East
Boston
pacifically
mayor.
Thank
you
very
much
for
that
announcement
today
and
one
small
announcement
and
addresses
the
question
that
came
in
earlier.
A
So
the
mayor's
been
great
like
climate
change.
If
I
could
invite
that
he's
been
very
good
on
housing,
we
thank
you
for
all
the
investments
he's
actually
made.
He
doesn't
know
this
yet,
but
last
night
Noah
bought.
What
we
would
say
is
our
tenth
purchase
of
a
three
family
in
East.
Washington
will
preserve
three
more
tenants
actually
and
it
was
the
Willing
sale
of
a
seller
who
wanted
to.
They
want
to
move
out
at
certain
point,
but
they
ought
to
say
they
didn't
want
to
sell
to
somebody
who
could
have
made
it
condos.
A
They
wanted
to
sell
and
keep
it
there
residents
there.
So
this
is
now
the
tenth
purchase
we've
made
under
the
mayor's,
what
they
call
acquisition,
Opportunity
Program,
with
Sheila
Dillon
and
in
that
particular
program.
So
we
hope
to
do.
Ask
you
more
I've
got
a
couple
in
the
wings,
but
the
mayor's
done
a
great
job
on
housing.
That's
part
of
the
answer
to
Scarlett's
question
earlier.
The
mayor
cares
about
all
of
us.
I
think
it
was
particularly
time.
A
I
know
you
guys
have
a
schedule
to
get
to
I
know
if
they
want
to
take
any
questions,
but
we're
we're.
If
you're
open
for
questions,
then
there
may
be
five
minutes
or
less
from
the
audience.
If
anybody
has
anything
to
ask
before
we
break
back
into
the
workshops,
I
know
it's
going
to
be
hard
to
follow
the
energy
and
the
power
and
the
eloquence
it
comes
to
these
particular
gentlemen.
But
what
would
you
might
have
to
say
there
senator.
B
D
Dealing
with
climate
change
is
getting
people
out
of
their
cars.
I
know
that
we're
all
anxious
to
see
the
Boston
Harbor
now
study.
We
finished
in
parts
of
the
Boston
Harbor,
ferry
and
I'm
just
wondering
if
any
conversations
have
happened
with
the
senator
about
possible
federal
funding
to
encourage
water
transportation,
I
mean.
B
I
think
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
conversations
with
the
senator,
not
just
a
lot
of
Transportation
but
I
like
infrastructure
as
well.
I
did
that
the
United
States,
the
president,
talked
about
having
the
biggest
infrastructure
bill
in
the
history
of
the
country,
which
was
over
a
trillion
dollars.
We
were
excited
about,
but
would
he
want
one
of
the
day's
usual
in
the
executive
orders
on
immigration?
B
He
took
away
local
hiring
options
so
when
I
think
about
that
I
think
about
money,
that's
coming
in
which
we're
excited
about,
but
I
also
think
about
job
creation,
which
I'm
excited
about
to
help.
People
find
a
job
like
when
President
Obama
did
the
Simlish
built
the
economic
stimulus
bill
with
huge
fixing.
You
know
crosswalks
and
things
in
our
city,
and
we
had
people
working
in
it,
so
this
White
House
actually
is
putting
a
bill
up,
but
not
taking
a
little
high
anyway.
B
What
does
that
mean
you
a
question
that
means
that
we
need
to
continue
to
work
a
plan.
I
think
my
own
personal
opinion
is
that
the
federal
government
and
melody
a
senator
talked
to
himself,
but
this
is
federal
government.
The
state
in
the
city
needs
to
work
together.
We
need
to
continue
to
improve
and
upgrade
the
MBTA,
and
we
have
to
stop
thinking
about
the
future,
the
MBTA
in
the
sense
of
its
diesel
right
now,
but
it's
gonna
change
to
electric.
B
We
should
start
to
build
that
infrastructure
right
now
in
the
MBTA
and
I
think
that
you
know
Adrian's
our
state
representative
I
spent
17
years
at
the
house.
We
don't
have
10
billion
dollars.
The
infrastructure
improvements
there,
so
we
really
have
to
do
is
work
collectively,
with
its
rebrand
to
the
government.
I
know
the
Senate.
Is
there
I'm,
not
sure.
C
Yep,
the
mayor
put
his
finger
right
on
it.
We
need
a
national
infrastructure
bill.
In
other
words,
we
need
more
money
for
the
city
of
Boston
for
ferries,
while
mass
transit
for
sustainable
development
and
the
president
says
he
wants
a
1
trillion
dollar
bill,
we
want
a
1/4
we're
waiting
for
the
president
to
propose
so
that
then
we
could
begin
the
negotiations
on
that
bill.
C
B
Me
just
say
one
before
I
take
one
more
question:
building
a
ferry
sounds
great.
When
I,
when
I
was
when
I
first
got
elected
mayor
of
Boston,
we
had
two
operators
in
Boston
Harbor.
One
of
them
went
out
of
business
because
it
was
enough
volume.
So
building
a
ferry
is
great
to
say:
okay,
we're
gonna
have
traffic
on
the
waterfront,
but
such
as
building
that
front.
We
actually
need
to
convince
people
to
actually
get
on
the
ferry
and
take
the
ferry
as
a
mode
of
transportation.
B
I
think
that
when
you're
going
from
point
A
to
point
B
people
might
do
it,
but
I
think
we
really
have
to
encourage
people
to
take
that
Ferrari
and
the
ferry
system
shouldn't
just
be
East,
Boston
and
downtown.
You
have
East
Boston
me
a
child,
sound.
You
know
self
Boston.
You
have
Dorchester
just
in
Boston
alone.
You
know
all
of
those
connections
that
can
be
made
right
there
that
are
actually
incredible
connections,
so
I
think
that
we
have
to.
We
have
to
encourage
people
once
it's
there
to
take
the
next
step.
E
E
B
C
In
us,
in
a
sense
we're
already
in
of
the
strongest
system
in
the
United
States
we're
inside
of
the
Regional
Greenhouse
Gas
Initiative
and
we've
met
all
of
our
goals.
Massachusetts
and
Boston
have
had
tremendous
economic
growth
since
we
joined
10
years
ago,
while
dramatically
reducing
the
amount
of
carbon,
which
is
why
of
Boston
under
the
mayor's
leadership,
is
the
Green
Monster
of
the
country,
so
Massachusetts
I
think
in
response
to
Donald
Trump's
climate
denial.
C
It
has
to
be
the
leader,
that's
what
Boston
is
doing
to
lift
our
goals
even
more
we're
in
a
partnership
right
now
with
New
York
with
the
New
England
states,
with
with
Maryland
with
Delaware
and
there's
a
new
Democratic
governor
of
New
Jersey,
going
to
be
elected
next
week,
he's
going
to
ignore
chris
Christie,
who
doesn't
believe
in
this
system
and
he's
going
to
join
as
well.
So
we're
going
to
be
the
leaders
and
ultimately,
that's
going
to
be
the
model
in
an
in.
C
In
essence,
it
is
a
carbon
fee
because
there
is
in
fact
the
downward
pressure
on
as
the
price
is
imposed
upon
it,
but
there's
still
more
room
for
improvement.
But
if
it's
going
to
happen,
it'll
happen
out
of
this
conversation,
where
Massachusetts
and
Boston
say
to
the
other
states.
Here's
even
a
veteran,
smarter
way
of
accomplishing
the
goal.
A
A
Good
and
we
look
forward
to
working
with
you
in
the
next
four
years
and
you
as
well
senator
just
a
couple
of
gifts
guys,
would
you
make
sure
that
we
also
give
our
gifts?
We
have
two
great
people
at
the
local
level.
Again
santa
la
mattina.
We
got
a
lot
of
well.
Okay,
your
wife
still
need
a
pro
game.
Good,
okay,
great
it
want
to
make
sure
that
they
were
properly
acknowledged,
because
leadership
would
not
get
at
all
levels.
A
We
have
great
people
at
the
State
House,
senator
Vaughn
cork
wouldn't
be
here,
but
Adrienne's
gonna
be
there.
For.
Is
that
what
do
you
need?
What
do
we
need
to
write?
Wasn't
legislation
we
need
I,
said
we'll
talk
to
our
people
and
we'll
see
what
we
can
do.
Sal
it's
gonna,
we're
gonna,
miss
you,
you've
been
a
great
friend.
There
was
a
great
authentic
story,
helped
shape.
This
is
a
climate
issue
for
all
of
us
today.
So
in
a
few
moments
after
we
go
through
these
smollett's,
we
