Bacchus has drowned more men than Neptune.There have been more life's lost, and families ruined over alcohol than anything in our society. There aren't enough bars, liquor stores and restaurants.
Drunks and addicts are not a threat to her regime.
Men with guns willing to protect their families are a threat to her regime.

Whenever they talk about “equity” you know the process is already corrupted. I can only imagine the graft that is going to take place in distrusting these licenses “equitably.” Wu thinks infusing low-income neighborhoods with more liquor is good news for those communities?
Also, I have no clue why the state is dictating how many licenses a city or town can issue anyway. Didn’t Maura say last year that she wanted to change that to leave it up to the cities/towns? Guess that would take power away from the statehouse humps, and you can’t have that. Now they’re all patting themselves on the back for flooding low-income neighborhoods with more booze.

While Healey signed the bill, this was a home rule petition pushed by Michelle Wu. Her and members of the Boston Licensing Board are no doubt singing "Happy Days are Here Again."Governor Healy just passed a bill to add 250 liquor licenses in the city of Boston over the next 3 years.

Honestly, the city needs them. Because of the way the licenses are bought and sold they are concentrated in high-wealth areas of the city and many parts of the city have few options for having a drink at a sit-down restaurant. Further, with the residents facing a steep property tax increase and commercial RE in the crapper, the extra tax is a bonus. Finally, none of the licenses are for package stores. This State/City is a dumpster fire but even a broken clock is right twice a day.
I see potential in the 'grow or brew in your own home' market. People want fresh drinks, and they know exactly what they put in and where it's been this whole time. A company can bring you the stuff you need for brewing day, then leave some high end fermenting equipment for you to watch. They will even come back and bottle all that pisswasse for you if you paid for the gold package.I've got a bigger question: Why do we need liquor LICENSES in 2024???? If you wanna go inspect, have at it. But limiting the lic's overall is just stupid and is born by existing merchants who dont' want competition.
Same with hack licenses. "Oooh, there are only so many cabs!" Then Uber comes along and blows it up.
Maybe someoen can come along and create a "brew at your table beer" system and F the liquor boards completely. LOL
