In some ways yes and in some ways no. Boston has a lot of amazing attributes with technology and education but we need to do better with diversity, inclusion and the wage gap. — Monica Cannon, Community Organizer, Roxbury

No. There’s still not enough opportunity for the people who live here. People are coming from out of town and getting the jobs and the housing. — Horace White, Retired, Dorchester

I think overall things are getting better. There are more opportunities in terms of jobs than there used to be, especially for minorities. — Glenn Williams, Executive Director, Mattapan
