MAYOR MICHELLE WU GIVES $110M TO BILLIONAIRE FINANCIER WHILE PROPOSING TO INCREASE TAXES TO HOMEOWNERS

MAYOR MICHELLE WU GIVES $110M TO BILLIONAIRE FINANCIER WHILE PROPOSING TO INCREASE TAXES TO HOMEOWNERS   

  • Charlestown residents were not informed of this Instagram performance by Mayor Wu “15% back when they sell" condos that were not designated as condos.  Bunker Hill Housing apartment has always been rental.

·        Mayor Wu DID NOT disclose the truth: BHHD tenants will need to pay their electric utilities in these new buildings which eliminates affordability to existing tenants. What low-income resident has a surplus of hundreds of dollars monthly?  The developer and the City have misled the BHHD residents.  

  • The project creates massive heat islands. On a 99 degree day, this project was 125 degrees, increasing the risk of heat stroke, with more 100 degree days annually. This is NOT climate resilience. 
  • The project destroys 17 acres of courtyards and greenspace, while more than doubling the population. 
  • There will be a mere 2.7 acres of slivers and patches of green space for 6,200 BHHD residents on 27 acres, the densest concentration of public housing in the City.
  • Mayor Wu is approving segregated public housing, not mixed income housing.
  •  Mayor Wu is eliminating required community engagement by: a) segregating low income residents into elevator buildings instead of  MIXED income buildings as was promised to the community before construction, and b) forcing the BHHD residents to pay utility costs when the community was promised the utility cost would be included in the rent as it had always been prior to construction.
  • Mayor Wu, the developer, and the financier are destroying the environment by ripping out established green infrastructure and tearing out 288 century-old, full canopied trees.
