WE, THE UNDERSIGNED SOUTH END RESIDENTS, SUPPORT THE PINE STREET INN in their proposed purchase and operation of the lodging house property at 38-42 Upton Street, currently owned by Hope House.

The South End needs to stay a real community. We can't just push everyone out because they don't have enough money. Happy to see this happening.

They do great work. Pine Street is professional and they actually care about the neighborhood. Don't listen to the loud minority complaining.
