Martha's Vineyard local officials expressed concern about long-term shelter plans for migrants sent to the island because of its well-documented housing crisis. Affordable housing is scarce on the island and has been for years.

in September. "Indigenous people whose families have lived on the island for centuries have been forced to leave their homeland. Firefighters and government workers can’t afford to stay in the communities they serve."

"So, you know, everyone is meeting about this. There’s multiple wheels that are turning and departments that are working together. It really is a community effort — and that community is, you know, from here to Boston, probably to the White House.""The difficult challenges are … at some point in time, they have to move from here to somewhere else. We cannot — we don’t have the services to take care of 50 immigrants. We certainly don’t have housing.

"I had one young man come to me and he said, ‘Can I go to the ferry now? I have to go get a job today. I’ve been gone for two months. My family needs money.’ All right, he wasn’t asking me for money. He wanted to know if he could leave to go get a job. Like, that says something about him as an individual." "Yes, yeah — the refugees. I mean, every single one of them wants a job. They’re not here saying, ‘Give me money’ or ’Give me clothing’ or ‘Give me this.’ They want to work.

They hate the immigrants. Facts.

There are four bedrooms for every person that lives there. Why are they being so fascist with their homes?

How can a town w tourism a huge part of economy not have space for 50 ppl? 🤔 “Between summer residents, vacationers and day trippers, more than 150,000 people visit the island each summer” “Think Pleasantville with organic products and good coffee” ⬇️

Every house has like 15 bedrooms. LMAO

Shouldn’t we build some low cost housing there? Can they change zoning laws so that poors can be there? I thought we were against gentrification….

There are thousands of vacant timeshares, vacation homes, etc. Quit your biased lies POLITIFAKE!
