I'm generally curious how you can have two 'truths' at the same time. Michelle Wu claims that: 1. Boston is the safest major city in the country, safe for everyone, and illegal immigrants do not contribute to the crime. Areas are not 'less safe' because of this. 2. Boston law enforcement does not collect immigration status during arrests. So my question is, if law enforcement does not track or collect immigration status, as she claims, how can the city confidently claim that illegal immigrants are not contributing to crime without the data?

The Ayanna Presley paradox is wild. "Cancel rent" was her slogan during COVID. Meanwhile, her household cashed $50-100k from a Mattapan rental alone with multiple Boston properties bringing in steady cash flow. Let's also not forget about the condo flips in Florida. For those of you that might have forgotten, her husband Conan Harris just landed a partnership stake in a 400+ unit development deal in Roxbury, on public land. In her OWN district. Now to be fair, it technically a competitive bid. But does that matter? Not really and here's why. This woman has spent years ripping into "institutional investors" and "corporate landlords" for using leverage, buying with minimal down payments, and driving up housing costs. I pulled the mortgage records. Guess what her household used? The same tricks she condemns. 5% down FHA loans. Refinancing vacation homes to extract equity while playing the same exact game she condemns in speeches. Their Martha's Vineyard property alone is over $1M as a vacation home/Airbnb situation. She's literally playing monopoly with house money while calling landlords parasites. And look, everyone should have an opportunity to be a capitalize on investments, but condemning people doing the same thing on the front-end and doing the SAME thing on the back end looks evil. Then there's the COVID rent cancellation bill. Here's what she never mentioned: landlords would've still gotten paid through federal relief funds, including her. So she wanted to cancel rent for America but cash rent at home. That's the actual story. Look, buying rental properties isn't illegal. Using leverage isn't illegal. But when your brand is "working class warrior" and your balance sheet tells a completely different story? That's textbook hypocrisy, and furthermore, it poisons the well for actual tenant advocacy. How do you get up and preach about housing justice when you're extracting equity from multiple properties, flipping condos, and your spouse is partnered in a public land deal? Answer: you can't. At least not credibly. The bottom line is, I don't care if you're progressive or conservative. If you preach fairness, why don't these people practice it at home? especially when it costs you money. Otherwise you're just handing ammunition to everyone who opposes you. And that trust evaporates. There is a common thread between all the "squad members" and it will eventually come out of the wash.
