City workers began moving tents and people away from the intersection as part of the mayor’s plan to remove encampments and ban tents across the city.

Boston city workers began to clear tents Monday morning near the troubled intersection of Melnea Cass Boulevard and Massachusetts Avenue as part of an effort to enforce a new encampment ban across the city.

    Do you suppose we could spare some of of our $870B defense budget and house some of these people?

      Uhh… they are literally being moved into shelters and their stuff stored.

      Monday marked the beginning of a three-day clearing. Outreach workers, police officers and city employees are working to take down the more than 75 tents, place personal items in storage and move some 90 people in the area into shelters.

      Defense budget of which you speak is federal not state, and literally takes years to adjust

      Take from police budgets, create social investment programs that drive $$ to shelters, medical, and social help to help people get to a self sustainable living. Pay social workers a living wage, fund groups, employ auditors, enforce transparency, and welcome journalists

      Feed them republican meat.
