Roving Camera 9-27-18: How is Boston’s housing market affecting you?

I came from this area and have worked here. I’m ok. I have subsidized housing.—Raymond Burston, Jr., Retired, South End
The costs are so high, I think they’re trying to move us out. People want the city back.—Ronald Simpkins, Retired, Framingham
Right now I’m looking for a place. Everything is out of my price range.—Matthew Wade, Security, Dorchester
It doesn’t affect me too bad. I deal with a lot of families and seniors. You see six people in a two-bedroom apartment or people moving out to Lynn or Chelsea.—Heidy Viarruel, Senior Advocate, Dorchester
It’s not affordable. All the housing they’re putting up is not for the people in the community.—Dorice Haskins, Hospital Worker, Roxbury
It adds to the high cost of living. It’s a burden. I’m a renter.—Anthony Addison, Retired Veteran, Dorchester
