Boston had a growing coffee-price problem as a result of tariffs, drought, and supply disruption. The average price per pound of coffee in Boston is $17.79, a 36 percent increase since January. Nationally, it’s $9.14. One way to start a revolution is to mess with Boston’s caffeine.

TL;DR: Dorchester is a coastal neighborhood, and the Morrissey Bvd plan must reflect that. Raising the road won’t fix the real issues: residents need safe routes, real waterfront access, & public spaces that work. If we rebuild this corridor, it should solve more than flooding & actually be useful.
