**The City of Quincy participates in the South Shore HOME Consortium’s First Time Homebuyer Program. The Program provides 0% interest, deferred payment loans to qualifying households that are purchasing a single-family home, condominium, or townhouse in Quincy, Braintree, Holbrook, or Weymouth. Quincy Housing Authority (QHA) has taken over management of 2 additional housing authorities, Hingham Housing Authority (HHA) in 2019 and Marshfield Housing Authority (MHA) in 2020. Quincy Housing Authority is recognized as a high performing agency and has been successfully managing the two additional authorities. Since new management began QHA has made much needed dramatic improvements at the two properties. QHA is proud of these collaborative agreements and continue to improve the quality of living for the residents at Marshfield and Hingham Housing Authorities. Quincy, Braintree, Holbrook, and Weymouth: • Quincy: Approximately 11% of individuals live below the poverty level. • Braintree: Around 5% of individuals and 4% of families live below the poverty level. • Holbrook: Approximately 7.4% of individuals live below the poverty level. • Weymouth: Approximately 6.2% of individuals live below the poverty level. Marshfield, Hingham, and Holbrook: • Marshfield: Approximately 7.9% of individuals live below the poverty level. • Hingham: Approximately 3.5% of individuals live below the poverty level. • Holbrook: Approximately 7.4% of individuals live below the poverty level SEEMS LIKE QUINCY CAN MANAGE EVERYWHERE ELSE BUT QUINCY!

This city is unbelievably greedy. I parked in what I thought was a regular spot, but it turns out it was a handicap space that didn't even have a visible sign on the newly paved floor. A parking clerk watched me park, didn’t say a word to warn me, and then slapped a ticket on my car immediately. When I tried to appeal, they denied it without any consideration. It’s clear that the parking division and their clerks are just out to squeeze money from citizens. All this so they can give the mayor a whopping 79% raise? Greedy city, greedy mayor. This is not how you should treat your residents.

"Okay, Quincy, what’s the deal with these parking tickets? I swear, I parked for like 10 minutes to grab a coffee, and BAM—there’s a no ticket on my windshield. Are your parking enforcement officers just sitting around waiting for someone to stop for 30 seconds? It’s ridiculous! And don’t even get me started on the signs—half of them are so confusing or hidden behind trees that it feels like a trap. I get it, you need revenue, but this is just predatory. How about making it easier for people to actually *understand* where and when they can park instead of treating us like ATMs? Fix your system, Quincy!" --- Let me know if you'd like to tweak it further! 😄

Quincy becomes worse and worse to live, the City let people do so called cleaning the side walk from 11pm to later than 2am near the residential area. And there is no snowfall on that day or the day before. There is little snow on side walk. They didn’t do any useful work but make so much noise. They use super noisy blower all the time to just clean some dirts even when there is little leaves on the road. This place is not for normal human to live, because you will never be able to sleep here due to City Hall policy to clean the streets.
