You all come in with the same bored "wHy dOeS RaCe MaTTeR?" takes every time. It's stale. It's also ignorant of the history of the Council. It's been a joke for most of its existence. All those white men on it didn't do much except get their supporters jobs in City Hall and fill an occasional pot hole. You have a body now that finally is doing some actual substantive work at the same time it's getting more reflective of the city's diversity. I don't think it's a coincidence. Policy cannot be ascertained by race and no one is suggesting it can be. But this current crop is doing a good job on the merits, and now the new members will be judged on what they actually do too. That's a good thing for the city no matter what you look like.

Wanna talk stale? You CANT bust our balls when your response is just a knee jerk emotional response based upon...EMOTION.

Nine of the thirteen members were re-elected.

YAWN
I'd argue it's not the most diverse
A more accurate headline would be "Fewest white males in history inaugurated to Boston City Council".
"Diversity" of the city council was off the scale when it included a trans black Republican person.
A majority of women and people of color
Yay, now my taxes will go down?
Nope
Council president wants to raise state gas tax to fund free bus trips for Boston residents
Wrong
Wu isn't the council president.
