Here’s an opening question
- |
YES, MORE debates are critical, but rarely do they go beyond sound bites and typical platitudes. Perhaps more useful would be a forum to engage young civic leaders and smaller nonprofits, many of whom represent the city’s next generation of leadership, to describe a vision and policies for Boston going forward. Then, in turn, the candidates could respond thoughtfully in writing. Yet even this would cause organizations and people to think twice, lest they run afoul of any of the candidates.
Still, here’s an initial question: How is a neighborhood’s quality of life affected by an aging population, and what policies and procedures are needed to welcome this reality?
