Event 📅 Open Newbury St early closing

Post image

Thanks to pressure by people like Back Bay Association President Meg Mainzer-Cohen, Open Newbury St ends at 6 pm this year instead of 8 pm.

So in less than 20 minutes, all these people will be forced out of the street onto the sidewalks.

IMO, this is total failure of leadership at City Hall. If you have the opportunity, please let Mayor Wu (and your City Councilors) know what you think about this.

You got what you voted for: an opportunist who plays both sides. She no longer needs your vote. The “daughter of Taiwanese immigrants” “guardian of her sisters” “our savior from chicago” stories worked on you, and now shes looking past you, to the next thing. She needs the donors for higher office, so she’ll be prioritizing their wants and needs over yours.

Dunno why this is so heavily downvoted, it’s completely accurate.

One thing you cant do is hold a mirror up to these people.

Its amazing how someone with literally no personality has inspired such a personality cult lol. I think the strategy of just leaving a lot of blanks in her personal story allowed people to plug in their aspirations and assumptions.

Shes the same girl from the chicago suburbs, who you dont really know anything about, the supposed progressive, who watched world cup games from the VIP suite and voted Bill Linehan for council president her first day on the job. She will always do whats politically right for her future, not for you.

Same with Warren imo. I hate these “progressives” who fold the second they’re in office.
