The city has to tell property owners that they can’t charge rents people can’t afford. It’s about greed. It’s time to put controls on rents. — Rayedon Nunnally, Disabled Veteran, Homeless
The city should build more affordable housing. — James Watkins, Retired, Roxbury
Help the homeless people first. They need the most help. — Howie, Maintenance, South End
I don’t know. They’re building more units, but we can’t afford them. — Gwen Keith, Retired, Roxbury
They have to fix the economy first. If people have better jobs, they can afford the rents. — Early Allen, Unemployed, Roxbury
I think the city should renovate some of the abandoned buildings and convert them to housing. There’s a lot of people who have nowhere to go. — Brenda Bond, Home Health Aide, Dorchester
