Housing experts from Los Angeles to Singapore gather at the Global Conference on Innovation in Urban Housing, held at Boston University's Fenway Campus in Brookline. Mayor Walsh offers welcoming remarks and gives insight into Boston's housing strategies.
A
A
That
started
will
surely
be
joined
by
now
watch
and
refer
to
his
presence
here
with
us.
This
morning
my
name
is
Wayne
Wilson
I'm,
the
director
of
the
Boston
University
initiative
on
cities.
Our
office
was
founded
five
years
ago
by
myself,
the
late
great
mayor
of
Boston
Tom
Menino.
Our
goal
was
to
bridge
the
gap
between
the
academic
study
of
cities
and
the
real-life
practice
of
urban
governance.
This
conference
is
very
much
what
we
aspire
to
doing,
bringing
together
experts,
practitioners
and
perspective
from
literally
all
around
the
world,
to
address
an
important
issue.
A
Shelter
is
one
of
the
most
basic
human
needs
and
is
one
of
the
most
important
emotionally.
Unfortunately,
many
of
our
fellow
citizens
struggle
to
meet
these
key
needs.
The
instrument
of
these
problems
every
day.
The
quest
for
answers
is
urgent,
and
so
is
the
need
to
learn
from
the
from
each
other.
We're
pleased
to
be
able
to
join
the
commissioners
with
peers
from
around
the
world
who
are
dealing
with
similar
challenges
to
help
inspire
new
ideas
and
tools.
A
A
Have
made
this
event
possible
thanks
so
much
to
City
Community
Development,
the
Rockefeller
Foundation
have
been
great
partners
of
the
initiative
on
cities
over
the
years
on
several
issues.
Thanks
also
to
the
Lincoln
Institute
of
land
policy
and
Enterprise
Community
Partners.
We
look
forward
to
continued
and
deepening
our
partnership
with
you.
All
I
want
to
thank
in
advance
of
his
arrival
there,
Marty
Walsh
for
joining
us
and
I'll,
introduce
him
shortly.
I'm,
especially
grateful
to
Sheila
doing
foster's
her
chief
of
policy
provided
early
and
invaluable
guidance
which
helped
shape
this
program.
A
The
journey
Bastin
university
president
bob
bell
trusted
brand
has
been
a
great
supporter
of
the
work
we
do
at
the
initiative
on
cities
really
creating.
It
was
his
idea.
He
has
a
deep
appreciation
of
the
problems
and
opportunities
facing
cities
and
he
often
relax
when
Boston
thrives.
Boston
University
thrives.
B
B
We
have
been
working
with
Boston
initiative,
the
first
universities
initiative
on
city
and
Graham,
and
the
team
for
some
time
now
and
gamify
work
also
on
the
Menino
survey
of
Mayors,
which
I
those
copies
outside
for
anyone
who
hasn't
seen
them
before,
and
it's
been
up
for
two
Oscars
surveys
and
also
getting
a
gauge
as
to
as
we
go
from
mayor
mayor.
Where
are
the
alignment
of
concerns
and
interests
of
cross,
our
cities,
the
United
States
at
least,
and
in
doing
so
housing
comes
up
all
the
time.
B
Towson
comes
right
up,
it's
the
center
of
that.
It's
great
also
to
have
this
international
group
with
us.
Amongst
today,
it's
very
familiar
to
those
of
us
at
city.
I
live
in
London,
one
of
the
most
unaffordable
places
to
live
in
a
good
way
is
course
as
well
as
as
we
have
the
challenges
in
San,
Francisco
and
Boston
and
I've
gotten
I
see
we
have
colleagues
from
sunflowers
Singapore,
London,
Denver,
New,
York,
LA
Vienna
has
real
my
counts,
not
even
many
of
those
cities
as
well.
B
These
perhaps
comes
up
more
than
almost
any
of
the
issue
in
our
discussions
and
among
stories
in
our
municipalities,
which
is
housing
and
the
cost
of,
and
affordability
of
housing
and
preserving,
affordable
housing
where
we
have
it
black.
Thank
the
Rockefeller
Foundation
Lincoln
Institute,
also
for
an
enterprise
for
their
partnership.
In
doing
this
and
inviting
us
to
be
a
part
of
it,
Sheridan
Katherine
from
the
best
in
housing
authority
and,
of
course,
when,
when
mayor
wash
comes
to
see
Boston
where
we've
done
a
lot
with
the
mayor's
office
in
the
past.
B
Those
credits
run
off
and
in
which
case
those
houses
become
market
priced
again.
So,
there's
a
constant
effort
to
produce
enough
housing,
I'm
delighted
that
none
of
my
colleagues
will
be
speaking
tomorrow,
which
is
Garrett's
use
to
go
ahead
about
city
community
capitals,
which
is
the
largest
arrange,
your
affordable
housing
in
the
US
and
so
I
think
he
can
really
be
able
to
speak
more
specifically
on
some
of
the
structures
about
the
housing
in
San
Francisco.
In
other
cities,
we've
tried
to
work
with
municipalities,
our
new
models
for
particularly
preserving,
affordable
housing,
we're
creating
them.
B
B
Portability
just
took
too
long
to
build
housing
and
other
cities.
We've
looked
at
housing
areas.
We
could
merge
existing,
affordable
housing
like
in
New
York,
to
create
efficiencies
in
managing
of
scale
at
those
while
preserving
their
affordability.
So
we're
very
excited
to
be
able
to
be
here
today
and
to
hear
what
many
of
you
on
your
own
cities
bring
to
the
table
and
how
we
can
support
that,
both
through
the
rust
initiative
here,
University,
but
also
in
our
own
cities,
where
we
may
be
present.
Thank
You
gran.
A
When
the
the
initiative
on
city's
got
support
from
the
Rockefeller
Foundation
I
was
so
excited,
it's
always
exciting
to
get
a
support
from
a
foundation
that
I
couldn't
also
help
but
think
what
a
great
foundation
we're
getting
support
from
and
my
mind
went
back
to
some
of
the
terrific
programs
and
projects
that
the
Rockefeller
Foundation
has
supported
so
I'm
very
happy
to
introduce
Corinne.
The
torno
deputy
director
for
city
resilience,
delivering
North
America
from
100
resilient
cities,
who
will
speak
on
behalf
of
the
Rockefeller
Foundation.
C
All
right,
I'm,
actually
extremely
honored
to
be
here
today,
with
such
an
amazing
group
of
professionals
tackling
one
of
the
biggest
challenges
of
our
time.
So
on
behalf
of
the
Rockefeller
Foundation,
we
want
to
just
thank
you
all
for
joining
in
this
important
conversation,
and
especially
one
of
the
things
that
be
you
initiative
on
cities
for
convening
this
important
conversation.
But
I
also
want
to
thank
our
partners,
city
and
enterprise
community
partners
for
coming
together
to
kind
of
help,
coalesce
and
catalyze
innovations
in
our
cities.
C
C
As
the
best
practice
coming
out
of
cities
is
work,
these
networks
of
cities
coming
together
to
kind
of
share
information,
share
best
practices,
encourage
innovation
and
also
foster
some
healthy
competition
right.
It
never
hurts
to
say
city
X
has
done
this.
Are
you
interested
in
thinking
of
doing
this
city
Y,
so
I
encourage
you
all
to
think
about
that
information
today,.
C
Look
at
these
interconnected
challenges
of
their
housing
systems
and
try
to
find
holistic
ways
to
address
these
challenges.
I
know
all
our
cities
and
our
these
network
and
all
the
cities
that
are
here
today
are
eager
and
excited
to
hear
about
the
innovative
ideas
and
take
these
ideas
and
implement
them
in
their
cities
tomorrow.
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
time.
Thank.

challenges

country.
E
E
And

E
She's,
the
chair
of
the
high
cross
city's
housing
fund
she's
been
an
incredible
leader
and
somebody
who
is
passionate
about
the
issues
of
housing
and
takes
it
personal
and
a
lot
of
times
when
people
are
working
in
the
area.
They
take
a
personal
nine-to-five
and
she
was
constantly
being
ways
of
how
do
we
continue
to
to
create
more
housing,
particular
man
for
housing,
and
how
do
we
be
sure
that
we
reach
out
to
communities
and
people
have
the
memory
behind
the
conversation
when
I
took
office
in
2014
I
got
elected
mayor
of
Boston
in
2014.
E
Unofficially,
the
numbers
are
about
50
thousands
of
people
moved
into
Boston
in
the
last
five
years
when
you
think
about
that
hundred
thousand
of
people
coming
in
for
work.
Fifty
thousand
people
living
in
the
city
of
Boston
there's
a
lot
of
strain
there.
So
I
should
be
talking
about
transportation
as
well
today
that
weird
very
different
City,
and
then
we
we're
back
in
the
1950s.
We
have
men,
adults,
elderly
residents,
have
a
Roger
immigrant
community,
immigrant
population
booth
or
not.
E
Today
than
we
did
in
the
fifties,
twenty-eight
percent
of
the
people
lived
in
the
city
of
Boston
were
born
in
another
country.
Forty-Eight
percent
of
the
people
live
in
the
city
of
Boston.
The
first
generation
like
I
am
so
nearly
75
percent
of
our
city
is
is,
is,
is
one
boat
water
plane
ride
away
from
being
immigrant?
So
you
think
about.
E
Supply
to
catch
up
with
our
population-
and
we
also
had
to
look
at
naturally
and
our
supply
to
the
needs
of
all
of
our
residents,
not
just
some
of
our
residents
and
that's
what
our
housing
plan
did.
We
put
together
a
housing
plan.
We
assembled
a
task
force
of
experts
and
practitioners
and
people
from
the
community.
We
started
to
look
at.
E
We
said
strategies
to
achieve
them,
get
fitted
our
inclusionary
development
policy.
For
the
first
time
we
created
areas
of
the
city.
We
wanted
to
make
sure
that,
when
somebody
built
high-end
housing
that
they
weren't
taking
their
ability
playing
somewhere
in
the
city
of
Boston,
because
what
was
happening
is
we
were
becoming
in
the
city
of
for
housing
in
one
day,
but
those
neighborhoods.
We
said
how
do
we
make
sure
that
we
have
a
big
shoe
system
during
the
downtown
Boston
as
we're
taking
and
we're
not
they're
letting
bosses?
E
To
don't
don't
call
me
saying
we
have
mixed-use
downtown
bosses
who
don't
that
we
changed
IDP
so
that
as
people
put
high-end
housing,
we're
gonna,
try
and
focus
on
ball
housing
in
that
area,
new
policies
and
plans
to
build
momentum,
housing
in
the
city
of
Boston,
so
people
who
don't
have
high
income
have
reputable
vividness
in
the
downtown
core
of
our
city
and
again
we
have.
The
policy
would
change
the
policy
to
achieve
that
goal.
The
results
that
we've
had
has
been
positive.
E
In
2018,
the
policy
created
500
phase
six
units
does
21%
of
all
the
units
produced
with
our
IDP.
Since
its
launch
in
the
year
2000,
so
we're
very
sad
to
see
the
game's
inclusion
a
development
side
in
2000,
we
changed
that
policy
on
2015
and
was
seeing
the
gains
of
this
policy
now,
with
housing
being
built,
low-income
housing,
it
takes
a
little
time,
but
we're
seeing
the
benefit
of
that
this
year.
We're
proposing
the
strength
of
this
policy
and
have
it
applied
even
more
projects
and
we're
going
to
continue
to
make
investments.
E
That's
one
area
of
investment
because
we
don't
have
a
lot
of
partners
in
this
area.
What
can
we
do
as
a
city
to
really
create
opportunities
for
more
housing?
Idp
was
one
of
those
areas.
Second
area
is
a
community
Community,
Preservation
Act.
This
is
a
local
surcharge
tax
to
fund,
affordable
housing,
open
space
and
historic
preservation.
These
voters
are
Boston
in
2001,
whether
this
town
I
think
was
60
40,
maybe
70
30
in
2001,
because
they
said
we
didn't
want
to
tax
ourselves.
E
The
way
that's
to
convince
working
with
stakeholders
and
business
leaders
and
everybody
we're
going
to
convince
and
talk
to
the
voters
of
Boston
when
2015
they
supported
this
overwhelmingly
70
to
dirty
the
voters
of
Boston.
The
homeowners
are
Boston.
Velvets
have
put
a
surcharge
on
the
attached
property
to
create
this
fund
to
keep
that
money
into
affordable
housing
up
in
space.
You
start
preservation,
so
they
can
be
down
if
it's
explained
to
people
and
if
people
understand
the
fact
that
there's
a
need
for
housing,
people
will
pay
for
it
and
they'll
help
us
pay.
E
For
last
month
we
advanced
56
projects
that
we
just
started.
So
we
had
a
pot
of
money,
334
million
dollars
of
funding
this
year,
the
commute
preservation.
Today's
it's
a
fund
that
was
created
by
the
legislature
back
in
2000.
That
was
money
that,
if
cities
and
towns
put
a
surcharge
on
their
property
tax,
one
two
or
three
percent
surcharge,
the
legislature
would
fund
a
fund.
That
was
very
fun.
Not
you
Dolph
at
all.
The
problem
is
we
don't
have
a
dollar
for
all
match
right
now,
because
we
get
into
it.
E
This
is
what
you
want
to
see
in
terms
into
it.
The
match
is
about
17
18
cents
on
the
dollar,
so
money,
but
we're
working
with
the
legislature
right
now
to
make
some
adjustments
and
changes.
So
you
can
get
that
up
to
50
cents
for
a
dollar
and
we're
looking
at
surcharges
on
hundred
on
deeds
of
new
housing.
So
it's
a
way
to
get
money
into
the
economy.
E
So
we
set
a
goal
with
a
thousand
new
homeowners
this
year
and
another
program
that
we're
working
to
work
with
folks,
it's
all
about
low
income,
because
what
happens
if
we
don't
start
with
you,
a
minute
class
middle
class
housing
and
we
don't
create
housing
stock.
Two
things
are
going
to
happen.
One
is
it
going
to
leave
the
city
of
Boston
or
somewhere
else?
They'll
truly,
then
become
low
income
because
they
can't
afford
they
also
their
rents,
so
we're
working
to
create
more
opportunities
for
first-time
homebuyers.
E
E
What
came
of
that
master
plan
is
where
you
saw
that
that,
with
its
downtown,
skyline
and
I
would
probably
extend
to
Cambridge
as
well
this
skyline,
and
for
many
years
we
didn't
have
a
plan
plan
by
talking
to
community
members
and
the
plan
didn't
just
have
housing
and
economic
development
at
transportation,
us
and
culture,
education,
climate
change,
sea
level
rise
all
over
different
pieces
and
we
went
out.
We
spoke
to
over
20,000
Bostonians,
who
came
and
gave
us
ideas
and
feedback.
So
we
had
a
document
now.
E
That's
a
living
breathing
document
that
we're
looking
at
transferring
to
development
and
the
major
part
of
that
is
housing.
And
how
do
we
create
economic
development
opportunities
and
how
do
we
make
sure
those
housing
opportunities
with
that
as
well,
so
we're
working
to
continue
to
align
our
housing
strategy
without
goals
and
transportation?
As
they
said
earlier,
150,000
people
are
living
and
working
in
the
last
five
years
that
strains
our
system,
we're
working
on
climate,
actually
making
sure
we
were
close
to
city.
E
We
never
should
receive
any
rice
dishes
with
know
what
the
issues
are
plan
and
we
also
have
a
conversation
about
jobs
and
open
space
and
creating
open
space
when
I
became
here
five
years
ago.
One
thing
that
we
wanted
to
make
sure
is
that
everyone
was
in
a
ten
minute:
walk
in
a
park
in
the
city
of
Boston
and
last
year
were
able
to
get
there
weird
about
97%
when
I
became
the
man
able
to
create
that
opportunity.
E
For
the
first
city
on
the
East
Coast,
the
true
cities
in
America
that
are
within
attendant
water
park,
every
single
dozen
there
see
Seattle
in
Boston.
It
was
a
challenge
for
the
rest
of
us
to
get
there.
So
we're
going
to
continue
to
work
there
make
sure
that
our
residents,
they
said
we're
part
of
it.
Last
year
we
lined
population
is
growing
even
faster
than
we
thought.
Housing
plan
calls
for
fifty
three
thousand
units
in
housing
by
the
year.
2030.
E
Sixty-Eight
twenty-two
projected
population
growth
is
about
seven
hundred
fifty
six
thousand
people
in
the
city
of
Boston
by
2030.
We
are
sorry
working
regionally.
If
you
look
at
Boston
and
some
people
in
the
room
come
from
bigger
cities
in
Bossier
thinking.
One
whole
700,000
is
really
not
big.
I
come
from
the
city,
with
seven
million
people,
I
confirm
city
with
four
million
people.
What
are
the
challenges?
The
challenges
out
of
Boston
is
the
economic
engine
for
Massachusetts
and
a
lot
of
the
jobs
here
in
Boston
when
we
stopped
it.
E
E
We,
as
in
the
above,
a
city's
in
towns,
it's
13
of
us,
and
we
came
up
with
a
housing
plan
to
create
185
thousand
units
in
new
housing
by
the
year
2030,
because
most
of
the
folks
that
live
in
the
surrounding
cities
and
towns,
I,
really
a
train
or
a
bus
ride
away
from
being
in
town
within
10,
15,
20
minutes.
So
we're
thinking
about
how
do
we
make
we
continue
in
the
forward
so
that
regional
housing
plan
285,000
units,
our
69
thousand,
that's
part
of
the
plan.
E
There's
such
significant
amount
of
housing-
that's
gonna,
be
built
in
the
Greater
Boston
area
and
we're
trying
to
convince
some
of
our
partners
to
make
sure
that
housing.
Let
me
come
into
class
it's
like
summer
in
Cambridge
and
Chelsea.
Get
here
is
a
little
concerned
about
it.
So
it's
a
process
of
talking
to
the
communities
and
letting
people
know
this
support
this
for
this
set
of
housing.
So
we're
going
to
continue
to
move
forward
on
this.
E
In
the
city,
walking
with
your
firm
ended
here
and
then
I'll
take
some
questions
and
comments
since
the
since
the
starting
point
of
our
housing
plan
with
perd,
with
permit
of
twenty
nine
thousand
units
in
new
housing
in
Boston,
since
2014
I'm,
very
5630,
districted,
affordable
units
which
maintain
that
one
in
five
ratio
of
income
restricted
housing
and
as
far
as
we
know,
we're
the
highest
highest
ratio
of
any
city
excise
in
the
country.
If
we're
long,
there's
somebody
in
this
room
that
will
tell
us
off,
they
figured
I'm
out
so
I
appreciate
that.
E
But
the
fact
is
that
demand
across
the
city,
so
I've
set
a
top
priority
in
the
city
of
Boston
to
the
glare
of
limiting
displacement
from
our
neighborhoods,
we've
created
an
office
of
housing
stability.
We
sure
can
talk
about
later,
so
how
people
facing
displacement
wasn't
solutions.
It's
been
a
huge
success.
I've
personally
done
calls
from
people
that
I
know
that
will
say
that
the
bank
is
coming
after
the
landlord's
coming
and
I've
called
this
office
myself,
and
they
don't
have
to
this
office.
Helping
people
stay
in
their
homes,
regulations
in
short
stretch,
I
met.
E
E
Preventing
displacement
is
also
a
major
focus
from
we
pass
them
completed,
pass
put
a
package
of
legislation
of
the
state
and
we're
looking
at
this
place
that
we
guarantee
tenants
the
level
of
legal
counsel
and
eviction.
Proceeding.
Tenants
don't
have
that
right
today,
the
housing
they
have
nobody
with
them.
The
other
side
is
aware,
and
there
in
front
of
a
judge-
and
you
know
what's
gonna
happen,
then
ninety
nine
hundred
nine
hundred,
ninety
nine
thousand,
the
tenants,
don't
lose
cuz.
They
have
no
idea
the
way
the
process
works.
E
Of
course,
tenants
from
excessive
rent
increases
where
people
coming
them
by
buildings.
They
want
to
get
empty
of
the
better.
The
raise
the
rent
protect
our
senior
citizens.
We
talked
about.
How
do
we
do
this
and
we
figured
that
you
know
I,
don't
think
when
control
works
today-
and
I
think
I
think
is
very
complicated
process
other
is
making
sure
that
those
controls
and
protections
for
our
seniors,
something
that
was
really
important
for
us
and
again
it's
a
way
to
start
a
conversation
on
a
dial
out
of
the
see
how
it
works.
E
That
would
guarantee
tenants
association
to
buy
a
building
on
the
market.
So
when
somebody
wants
to
sell
their
home
attendance
attendance
or
an
association,
he
comes
together
having
first
right
of
refusal
that
building
to
come
in
and
buy
a
building.
So
these
dwellings
on
empty,
diving,
condo
there's
an
opportunity
for
so
we're
going
to
be
ripping
a
duck
just
out
of
the
bill
and
we're
actually
looking
at
that
idea.
Right
now
in
the
city
of
you
know,
separate
from
our
housing
plan
is
also
transformed
by
our
purpose
on
homelessness
in
Boston.
E
Every
city
represented
here
today
on
web
studio
city
is
represented
every
huge
problem
in
homelessness,
and
where
do
we
build
a
shelter
system
into
a
housing
system?
If
there's
an
intake,
people
and
counselors
working
with
people,
we've
worked
with
the
other
associations
and
the
other
members
providers
in
the
city
of
Boston.
We
know
now
who's
on
the
streets
of
Boston
where
they
come
from,
and
we
know
somebody
who
shows
up
who
they
are.
E
In
the
last.
In
the
last
five
years,
four
years,
we've
it's
1,600
chronically
homeless
people
into
permanent
housing,
we've
taken
over
thirty
five
hundred
years
of
homelessness
off
the
streets
of
Boston.
But
anytime.
You
have
to
shoot
this
somebody
else
and
we
serve
issues
where
people
that
don't
want
to
come
off
the
street
because
they
have
mental
health
or
substitutes
issues,
so
we're
working
to
make
sure
that
our
system
continues
to
move
forward.
E
We're
gonna
work
the
pine
tree
in
a
building
supportive
housing
for
over
two
hundred
more
individuals.
So
that's
so
that's
things
that
we
should.
We
have
to
continue
to
think
of.
We
had
their
Carney
veterans,
homelessness,
Michelle
Obama
challenged
us
in
2015,
there's
across
America
I
was
in
a
room
and
I
said
she
showered
us
all
the
incarnate
veterans
homelessness
by
the
end
of
the
year.
It
was
much
I
know.
E
We
because
it's
a
challenging
population-
and
there
are
a
lot
of
challenges
there-
Fargo
they're,
not
gonna,
stop
it.
So
we
continue
to
before
we
do
that
we
set
out
to
do
this
week,
but
on
their
City
Council,
our
city
budget,
on
Wednesday.
Overall,
this
should
make
it
budget
it's
going
to
have
one
hundred
and
twenty
five
million
dollars
for
housing.
Of
that
fifty
nine
thousand
will
be
spent
on
production
and
preservation
of
affordable
housing.
This
is
on
top
of
what
we've
already
done
by
the
way.
This
is
all
new
money.
E
This
is
more
money
that
we're
putting
in
our
budget
we've
increased
our
commitment
to
build
supportive
housing
for
the
homeless
by
45
percent,
we're
putting
resources
into
innovation
and
budgeting
six
hundred
fifty
thousand
dollars
into
no
interest
loans,
so
income
eligible
homeowners
can
create
additional
drawing
spaces.
This
is
an
three
family
units
of
housing.
Oftentimes
the
basement
is
free
and
where
we're
trying
to
work
to
keep
people
key
people
and
then
people
in
their
neighborhoods
story
about
and
we
run
around
we're
gonna
be
putting
money.
E
Lastly,
one
of
the
things
that's
frustrating
for
me
is
I've
been
in
politics
for
twenty
years.
I
was
a
legislator
at
the
State
House
and
I
felt
my
job
as
a
legislator
was
support
the
city's
city
of
Boston,
but
cities
and
towns,
and
help
them
with
programming
which
might
be
part
of
is
there
to
support
our
state
in
our
cities
down
and
then
it
funnels
down
in
last
couple
years
we
have
zero
fed
Obama,
we
don't
have
a
housing
plan
and
there's
no
discussion
of
housing.
I
did
not
talk
about
the
Boston
Housing
Authority.
E
E
E
Act
will
put
billions
of
dollars
into
affordable
housing,
something
that
Boston
and
other
cities
across
America
would
love
to
see
happen.
Special
focus
on
communities
that
suffer
under
housing
discrimination
in
the
past
I
redlining
occur.
These
are
important
steps
in
reducing
the
wealth
gap
that
we
have
developed
in
our
country.
It's
also
a
good
fit
for
having
valid
funding
and
resources
available
to
the
city
of
Boston.
We
need
Congress
to
pass
this
and
we
need
them
to
act
on
this.
We
needed
to
have
a
real
conversation
about
housing.
E
Don't
want
housing
with
the
other
stuff,
as
I
said,
with
transportation,
don't
clump
the
environment
on
to
transportation,
don't
want
you
have
these
clean
bills
that
go
through
Congress,
because
it's
important
for
us
to
focus
in
these
issues,
because
what
happens?
Is
you
put
something
on
a
bed?
The
gloves
of
the
sentence
and
non-solid
doesn't
help
us.
E
Five
years
ago
we
saw
a
trend
in
Boston.
We
took
action.
We
committed
to
making
sure
that
we're
gonna
continue
to
work
on
this
issue.
This
is
what,
as
me,
I
often
get
asked.
What's
the
most
important
issue
in
the
city,
there
are
the
most
important
issues
in
the
state
depending
on
the
adoption.
Housing
is
at
the
very
top
of
the
list
and
we're
going
to
continue
to
do
what
we
have
to
do.
We're
going
to
continue
to
be
part
of
a
national
conversation.
I
want
to
thank
you
all
for
being
here
today.
E
E
E
Country,
it
seems-
and
maybe
it
seems,
a
little
easier
to
get
veterans
into
housing
carnage
that
somehow
the
population,
because
you
a
little
bit
of
Australia
with
the
veterans
and
incentivize
some
folks.
We
have
a
great
system
here
in
Boston
too,
so
we
didn't
start
it's
a
living
room
for
veterans
that
had
had
a
real
good,
real
good
kind
of
narrative
on
all
of
our
veterans
and
be
able
to
help
them
out.
Here
we
serve
veterans
on
the
streets
of
Boston
that
won't
come
in,
but
I
think
you
know
about
housing.
E
E
So
we're
using
our
slang
classes
and
trying
to
spread
some
before
browsing
on
there
and
then
without
CDC.
So
what
happens
is
we're
building
that
somebody's,
probably
in
Highland
class
and
they're
building
high-end
housing?
If
you
will
and
they
want
to
buy
off
that
high-end
housing,
they
do
buy
into
a
CDC
projects
in
the
community
or
an
affordable
project
to
the
community
and
we've
changed
inclusionary
development
before
you
could
you
could
be
in
downtown
Boston
and
you
could
say,
I
want
to
put
my
money
into
high
park,
which
is
ten
miles
away
now.
E
We've
broken
regions
around
this
project,
so
it's
not
only
what's
happening-
is
not
only
a
CDC's
trying
to
create
more
housing
neighborhoods,
but
around.
These
here
is
where
these
developments
are
they're.
Trying
to
figure
projects
there
as
well.
Can
they
keep
some
more
money
into
the
downtown
projects
or
and
suboxone
or
cha-cha-cha?
So
we
don't
have
money
per
se
to
buy
pieces,
and
although
we're
looking
at
some
of
the
stuff,
because
the
cosine.
E
Right
now
in
upper
corner
to
the
part
of
Boston
we're
exploring
the
opportunity
of
the
city
partnering
with
a
non-profit
in
buying
buildings,
so,
for
example,
we
brought
the
banking
in
mind
that
Bank
of
them
I
got
a
banking
up
this
corner
and
one
in
the
market
we
bought
the
City
of
Boston,
bought
it
we're
buying
it.
So
we're
looking
at
exploring.
A
F
Mayor
Rushmore,
Cervantes
city
of
Los
Angeles.
Thank
you
very
much
for
being
here
with
the
need
to
create
greater
density.
How
are
you
dealing
well,
you
already
kind
of
just
touched
on
displacement,
which
is
a
big
issue
for
all
cities,
as
we
try
to
demolish
and
create
greater
density.
But
how
are
you
dealing
with
NIMBYism.
E
E
It's
easy
to
side
with
people,
but
sometimes
you
need
to
stand
up.
The
Brewers
right
and
I
think
that
I
want
your
meeting
and
the
other
night
Boston
and
I
was
questioned
on
the
housing
stock.
I
was
questioned
on
the
I
was
questioned
on
people
being
priced
out,
pushed
out
and
then
I
started
talking.
I
switch
gears
to
a
couple
of
developments
that
the
community
wrote
it
down
and
I
think
we
have
to
do
a
better
job.
I
have
to
do
a
better
job.
E
Cities
have
to
do
a
better
job
advocate
of
do
a
bad
job
of
trying
the
need
for
housing
that
this
just
isn't.
A
proposal
is
being
built
in
the
community
that
this
is
needed
for
community
and
the
benefits
that
would
actual
community.
So,
for
example,
it
would
add
more
people
to
your
Main
Street
districts
and
without
more
people
to
shop
in
your
stores,
without
more
people
to
worship.
E
In
your
councils
of
motion,
there
would
have
more
people
to
be
part
of
a
community
I
think
we
have
to
do
a
better
job
of
explaining
that
out
and
I
think
elected
officials
when
I
say
this,
and
this
will
get
me
in
trouble,
but
I
think
people
need
to
look
at
your
overall
plan.
We
can't
fight.
We
can't
fight
to
build
housing
for
poor
people
if
there's
no
housing
for
poor
people.
E
We've
set
a
record
in
Boston
last
five
years,
more
low-income
housing
that
any
other
favored
stretched
in
the
history
of
our
city.
But
yet
we
still
need
to
do
more.
So
I
think
we
have
to
do
a
job
of
educating
community
groups
and
it
to
do
a
job
of
educating
the
community
people
in
himself,
and
we
also
need
to
get
people
to
stand
up
and
say.
E
E
E
She
stand
up
and
if
we
got
Pfeiffer
I
know
it's
difficult,
I
think
there's
about
people
in
the
community
that
are
quiet
that
agree
with
we're
doing
done
the
people,
the
voices
are
fighting
it
housing,
so
they're
fighting
us
as
well,
and
that's
not
the
attention
it
shouldn't
be
on
us,
meaning
you
should
advocate
for
it
again.
It's
all
it's
today.
It
seems
like
it's
all
attack,
let's
attack
somebody
and
it's
the
mayor's
office.
Today
they
want
to
attack,
which
is
fine,
that
people
could
attack
it
all
day,
but
we're
gonna
continue
to
move
forward.
E
I
think
the
new
museum,
though
its
sound,
affect
us
a
bit
when
it
comes
to
building
housing,
because
we
do
have
to
dread
some
housing,
some
of
the
money
that
we
get.
It
talked
about
the
money,
we're
investing
in
the
budget,
we're
getting
our
money
from
high-end
housing
from
more
affluent
housing.
We're
getting
some
of
the
money
from
from
from
the
payoff
for
that,
so
which
can
keep
moving
at
them.
Thank.
