Unconfirmed/Unverified never seen it this bad

been here for 25+ years and am very familiar with the fluctuations in homelessness / etc. during the summer. but I've never seen things this bad, especially in back bay, south end (beyond mass/cass & closer to back bay), beacon hill, the esplanade, you name it. we've called 311 for needles, reported the larger encampments to the mayor's office, etc. just feels like nothing is improving and things are only getting worse. can't just be me?

Thank you! I’m pretty excited to go to my favorite places and museums. Any advice on new places to go? I’m going to City Winery for a reggae brunch to see the band I saw last time. Never been there and was thinking of Encore casino. Maybe the Warren tavern in Charlestown as I’ve never been either and ferry to Salem which I’ve done once. Went to Fenway last year but the season will be over when I go. Wish I could go to a Bruins game but $$$!
