That's news to me. I live in Somerville MA, which is represented by Ayanna Pressley. People here think the city works rather well. Taxes are reasonable, the schools are good, and it is very easy to get into Boston. There are lots of weekend festivals here. The T (the local subway system) is getting extended through the middle of Somerville, one of the new stations will be a few yards from my house.

As for crime: we used to have the Winter Hill Gang, but that is gone now. If you don't know about the Winter Hill gang, google for Whitey Bulger - that was his gang. There was even a movie about him. The part of Somerville I live in is: Winter Hill.
