I used to like Rite Aid. But until March, when I visted an old neighborhood, I hadn't been to one in years.

And sales are... down??

Our stories not only rely on anecdotes, we report from data, visuals, and scholars. You can literally see maps of Boston that show redlined areas are hotter in the summer and Black Census tracts pay higher gas bills.

Source Tony Reames was a Sr. adviser in the DOE Office of Energy Justice & Equity. The office was created in 1979. So this has been an issue for nearly 50 yrs.

Q1: Isn't everyone in Boston paying a lot for natural gas?
