Boston mayoral race: John Barros's interview with Boston.com

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

53% : So a guaranteed minimum income program for elders based on tax and tax increases, I think, would make a lot of sense.
50% : On the community land trust, we were able to stabilize taxes.
46% : And so, in fact, an increase in taxes are not used as a displacement tool in our neighborhood, even though we continue to improve the neighborhood, so that you can in fact make an argument of improving a neighborhood, improving even real estate values of a neighborhood, and not displacing people who live there.
43% : And then in part of that housing equation is the increase of taxes, because our elders work hard to try to stabilize, to be able to stay in their homes, and then here come the taxes.
42% : Well, for every year we don't grow Mattapan, we're losing taxes on the rolls.
41% : We would probably be able to collect taxes earlier than we would if we just allowed the market to do it.
