Migrant homeless continue to camp out at the Wollaston Red Line station.

The current number of homeless sleeping on the ground at the Wollaston Red Line station is roughly fifty, including children and pregnant women as well as thus twice as many as Quincy Mayor Thomas P. Koch’s maladministration callously evicted from church sanctuary at a temporary tent camping site “… in a secluded garden on the church grounds.”
In short, Karma happens when someone makes a bad situation even worse.
Way worse.
Where’s Tommy?
A meme
Particularly galling is that Mayor Koch has been nowhere to be seen, much less available for comment, as regards this metastasizing local humanitarian crisis.
After all, not only is he the mayor of Quincy, he is also the Vice Chair of the MBTA Board of Directors and thus arguably the right person to hold responsible to see this humanitarian crisis resolved.
Further problematic regarding Mayor Koch’s failure to act, he is a recent recipient of the Boston Roman Catholic Archdiocese’s Cheverus Award “… for … service to the Church and God’s people.”
In turn, receiving this award is especially troubling as regards Mayor Koch’s actions and inaction include that these homeless migrants are Haitian refugees and Haitians are overwhelming Roman Catholic as well as these migrants are said to have I-94 legal refugee status.
What would Jesus think …

Then again, Quincy Mayor Koch has a long history of koching-up as well as often gobmackingly expensively so, including previously even arguably inflicting his Medusa Touch upon the MBTA.
Fortunately, just this week came word from Washington of a $20 million grant for migrant aid and perhaps some of this money can used help to see that these fifty homeless legally resident immigrants as well as roughly 800 other homeless families on housing waiting lists have a roof over their heads and so then be able to strive to successfully resettle in the United States.
In the meanwhile, locals are stepping up to do what they can to help out with this crisis.
Needless to say, Quincy Quarry News’ ever-growing legions of loyal readers can count on the Quarry to continue to monitor this koched-up mess and report updates when appropriate.
The Wollaston Red Line Station—once just a place where you hoped your train wouldn’t be late—is now doubling as a shelter because, hey, who needs a proper housing solution when you can just let people camp out next to the tracks? The Commonwealth must be so proud of its “innovative” approach to solving homelessness. Maybe next we’ll see tent rentals as part of the MBTA’s expansion plan. Because nothing says “welcome to Quincy” quite like the sight of people forced to live at a train station
Quincy’s Mayor Koch was beaming and all smiles at yesterday’s press conference when he assured the migrants camping out at the Wollaston “T” Station to not worry and reiterated that as soon as he gets that $20 million for migrant aid, they will be allowed to get a free ride on the Red Line to Quincy Center MBTA Station where they will be allowed to camp out on the station platforms and a couple of visitor parking spaces in the subway stations parking lot. The Quincy Mayor and MBTA Director stated that Winter was coming and that he personally wanted to keep a close eye on Quincy’s newest residents looking out the window of his heated Quincy City Hall Mayor’s office adjacent to the Quincy Center MBTA Station.
