I think it’s not practical, based on the income of the people who live here. It seems like they’re catering to a high-income group. It’s difficult to find living quarters in Boston. — Nathaniel Coates, Retired, Boston
It’s gentrification. I’m not sure who can even afford what they’re building. — Quianna, Human Resources Coordinator, Savin Hill
