The Community has decided to sleep in

Don’t doubt they’d all be against that one, but this is probably referencing Blue Hills Ave, right? That’s been a much bigger point of conflict and the opposition has taken the “it’s racist to provide us good buses” angle that’s been popular with these folks lately.

I love how they always slop “Jews” together with “transplants” as if my great grandparents didn’t live here 100 years ago. My family owned haberdasheries and butcher shops in this neighborhood long before cars. And these putzes try to claim that they have sole possession over the streets.
