So much for "change".
phew, we're assured at least a couple more years of trash on the streets, doggy doo on the sidewalks, and illegal resident parking.
@ne rez… why are you blaming the city council for the actions of the lazy inconsiderate residents and visitors who leave trash on the street and and don;t pick up doggy do left by their dogs ? Blame the absentee landlords and code enforcement and the inconsiderate residents for those issues. Illegal parking…that's another enforcement issue that needs to be taken up with the transportation department's parking enforcement people and the area A police. ,,and the valet parking company who think it is their constitutional right to park wherever the hell they find a spot and the people who go to TD garden for Bruins games and the cheap restaurant goeers who don't want to pay for valet parking and are too lazy to walk from one of the half dozen or more parking lots in the neigborhood.
