Nosey neighbors.

Coherent 40B policy.

Selectmen.

Stalled resolution to Gov. Stoughton Land issue.

Not enough activities for teenagers to hang out safely.

Management.

Too many yuppies trying to change the town.

Safety in east Milton, police.

White privilege is rampant in this town.

40 b developments.

A culture of dishonesty and lack of integrity in the TA, and heads of DPW, Planning and MPD.

Generally ineffective local government with poor communication broadly to residents.
