“No one else is gonna do it”
Thoughts are - astonishingly - my own.

With hand-drawn elements, the human touch - the “neighborhood character” often invoked about but never defended - shows in addition to running for office, they’re people who live in our neighborhoods, who frequent the bodegas or the pubs checking the weekly specials just like the rest of us.

Trying to manage this was a razor blade balance beam. But - in the end - I’m a firm believer that government is here for everyone’s good. Not just the vocal minority.

Speeding is down more than 75%(!!!), travel time is almost the same, and we even added ADA parking spaces.

Even with this great data from @streets.boston.gov,there was still pushback. In an area with the highest concentration of senior citizens in the city, pedestrian safety seems like a slam dunk. That said, a ton of people made it clear that they didn’t want anything to do with it. In many ways.

Centre Street is undeniably the spine and central nervous system of West Roxbury. Everything flows to or from it. Multiple schools, churches, community centers and dozens of businesses.

Centre Street was also one of the most dangerous roads for pedestrians in the state.

The Eire in Dorchester rumbling with a hardy round of cheers and handfu of asks to “come home” for Marchand tonight.

If only Boston sports teams were as dedicated to retaining talent as they were making more money tickets. I guess there’s always next year.

Q1 Check-in:

Village Vibes (work) - a success. Come find us in your neighborhood before summer starts.

Village Vibes (personal) - thankful for my village. Throwing sumn on the grill all summer.

Village, Vibes (et. al.) - let’s lean on each other, that way we don’t have to sleep in the mud.

Not So Hot Take of The Week:
We gotta make it easier for businesses to have these building-sized murals/ads as a means to not only promote public art, but also to add to that “character of the neighborhood” everyone’s always talking about.

Too many businesses have been around for too long not to.

Lowest number of fatal shootings on record. Lowest number of non-fatal shootings on record. Lowest part one crime rate in almost 70 years.

Beating my drum once again, honored to be a part of this team. Honored to go to work each day for this city.

“The Work™ will continue…”

Hard to lose a football game coming in like this. Stoneham over Reading 42-14 at Fenway - a very happy thanksgiving indeed. 🦃

Big thanks to the Downtown Boston Business Improvement District - now the Downtown Boston Alliance for inviting the Community Safety Team to their annual meeting. Thankful for the wise words of @revrenddoctor.bsky.social “Downtown is Boston’s living room”

Kick your feet up - make yourself at home.

For those of you that are new here, know that my colleagues and I are in the business of Radical Good.

Everyone has a right to safety in their city, and while a tall task - ensuring totally is 100% achievable, just dont overthink it.

Give us your tired, poor and huddled masses - we have barbecue.
