Story time from Ben: “I was out working at events yesterday until 10 pm and didn’t have a chance to shovel the sidewalk in front of my house and was issued a citation. Don’t be like me, make sure to clear your sidewalk. Thanks to Massiel for not judging me and quickly processing my payment.”

Proud to stand with Boston’s Jewish community on the first night of Hanukkah. After the horror of the mass shooting this morning in Sydney, glad to see Gov Healey, Mayor Wu + many others show that they can stand in solidarity against violent extremism. From my family to yours, Hanukkah Sameach.- Ben

Homeowners shouldn’t subsidize luxury landlords. Let’s tax large, income-producing high-rises differently than single-family homes and condos—and give real relief to the people.
Boston Mayor Michelle Wu said that property taxes for the average single-family home in the city are poised to jump 13 percent, marking what would be the second double-digit increase in as many fiscal years for homeowners.
Property taxes on Boston single-family homes set to spike 13 percent in second fiscal year of double-digit increase - The Boston Globe
The prospect of a second year of double digit property tax increases for homeowners also prolongs a nearly two year battle Wu has fought with the state Senate over a bill that would mitigate that spike.
