BOSTON (CBS) — Over the weekend, the City of Boston posted signs around the homeless encampment known as Mass and Cass. I don’t want neither of them, and I don’t need neither,” he said. On Monday, workers with the Boston Public Health Commission went tent-to-tent on Melnea Cass Boulevard and Massachusetts Ave., distributing containers, and encouraging people to clean up. It’s the epicenter of the city’s opioid problem, where Acting Mayor Kim Janey has declared a public health crisis, announcing plans to dismantle the tents. Advocate Bethann Codrington said she used to live at Mass and Cass herself and is now concerned about the city’s plan.
