Progressive Mayor Orders Dismantling of Blue City's Troubled 'Methadone Mile'

Boston's mayor, Michelle Wu, has enacted a new rule to dismantle a homeless tent city known as "Methadone Mile" that has been plagued by drug use and crime. Starting on November 1, police will have the authority to remove tents and tarps used for shelter. The plan includes connecting individuals with housing and services while increasing police presence to crack down on crime. The move comes as the state of Massachusetts grapples with a migrant crisis and a lack of affordable housing.
