Reply to comment by disco_t0ast in Mayor Tom Menino passed away 8 years ago today. by Nobiting

Feel free to provide examples of the BPDA post-Menino being “corrupt shitbags” and how it negatively impacted the public.

Edit: Also, absolutely fucking not. Wu’s doing it because she ran on a bunch of populist nonsense she can’t actually do anything about - like she ran for class president and promised no homework and extra recess. She has no functional plan for a post-BPDA City of Boston.

Edit2: Also, the BPDA - and the BRA before it - is fully controlled by the mayor. So the notion that Mumbles was cool and an “urban mechanic” (🤮) but that the BRA was “bad” is a joke. And the idea that the BPDA is corrupt and mayor Wu is going to fix it is also largely a joke - being as she could have done whatever she wanted to with the BPDA on day 1.

Awww, except I don't need to provide "supporting evidence' to some clown on the internet for MY OPINION.

You, on the other hand, seem to be making some claims of fact you should probably consider backing up. You're clearly blinded with rage by your hatred of Wu.
