From thebostonchannel.com:
Some landlords in Boston are offering vacant apartments to hurricane survivors for free…
Eric Stevens, one such landlord, is making 3 apartments available, rent-free, for one year.“They are 1,200 square foot four-bedroom apartments. They are de-leaded, and they are brand new construction. They have eat in kitchens and washers and dryers. They come with parking.”
(Mr. Stevens has) a friend at Bob’s Discount Furniture, who also offered to help the evacuees.
“They said, ‘How much furniture do you need?’ They committed to it and the furniture will be here in about 48 hours,” he said.
The evacuees will be allowed to keep the furniture once they find more permanent housing.
And what about local people in need? What about the families in Boston who are living in substandard, dangerous conditions, either in public housing or slumlord apartments?
Guess Massachusetts – currently, the only state with a declining population – is so desperate for new people that they have to lure them in with free apartments, food, transportation and medical care.
Even so, folks are so jumpy about coming here that they have to airlift ’em in – at gunpoint.
Meanwhile, one of my friends got herself a job as a part-time office manager at a horse farm.
She said it’s training for her future career as FEMA director.
I told her that she needs to get fired first.
