I understand why Walgreens and CVS are closing, my comment is more around investment in the neighborhoods these councilors are allegedly concerned about.

There’s maybe 1(?) liquor license in all of Mattapan. And there haven’t been any of the community beer and wine licenses awarded. There’s also constant hand wringing about crime, traffic, and other hypothetical boogey men when businesses try to open or expand.

Boston officials: let’s throw up every obstacle possible to businesses opening and operating in the city.

Also Boston officials: you aren’t allowed to close for business reasons because we need businesses

They are so concerned about investments in these communities, but make viable businesses spend millions in legal costs and years in pointless hearings that either completely neuter their operations or turn them away from the start.
