The Spin

Right narrative

After years of being plagued with crime-riddled tent cities, it seems some Democratic mayors are finally doing something about the homelessness crisis. It's absolutely tragic how much American cities have degenerated over the last several decades under Democratic leadership, and it's about time there be common sense solutions to the issues of open drug abuse and violent crime.

Left narrative

While Mayor Wu and the City of Boston think they are doing a service to the community by clearing tents and offering services to homeless people, they're also throwing many out of their dwellings and putting marginalized people at risk. There isn't enough housing to shelter these displaced people, with the trans community likely to be disproportionately impacted. As always, the most marginalized are paying the highest price.
