Feb 23 was the Point in Time count for the Homeless in Boston. I participated with MHSA. Walking the streets at 2 am in Feb looking for people with no place to call home gives you a different empathy for the despair that goes along with homelessness. #760ox#endhomelessness
Mayor Wu's 2% Real Estate transfer tax is a winner for Boston. Funnel that $$ into the Acquisition Opportunity Program to convert market rate housing to AFFORDABLE as an efficient, immediate way to increase affordable housing stock in Boston.https://t.co/eGaTXtFAFK

How many people are at risk of losing their homes in your neighborhood? https://t.co/3zGXdJr2cz In Suffolk, MA (home of Boston) 13.5% of households owe avg $4672 in back rent. Frightening thought, eviction always on your back door. #760ox#Affordablehousing
Affordable Housing = housing costs less than 30% of household income. Household incomes of $20K would have $14K left for a year of expenses while incomes of $100K would have $70K. Not even comparable. Affordable housing must be income restricted.#760ox

COVID fast test vs PCR: NEJM shows how the fast test may miss infections first 2-4 days you are infectious. Best option: if exposed and test neg test again 48hrs later: Then you are good to go! Fast test is great at telling you are no longer infectious. #COVIDTESTING#760ox
# of COVID cases are still high, BUT wastewater tracking by Biobot in MA is showing a VERY encouraging decrease over the last few days indicating a reduction in viral shedding after a peak just around New Years. I predict cases will decrease very soon! #WastewaterCOVID#760ox
