(español abajo) Who’s behind the displacement crisis in East Boston? Large corporate landlords like Joe Donovan of GRID. This large, expanding real estate enterprise has purchased 65 residential properties in East Boston just in the past 4 years. City Life/Vida Urbana has found many of these properties are now vacant or converted into condos. Where did our neighbors go?
City Life/Vida Urbana has supported 7 of GRID’s tenants, including an immigrant grandmother who has received a $500 rent hike and families facing a building-wide clearout.
March with us to tell Joe Donovan and GRID to HAVE A HEART – stop displacing East Boston!
