Now Boston has entered the second phase of restart, and after opening the door, the biggest pressure it faces is rent. The rents in Chinatown are more expensive, there is not much business to open the door, and the income is not enough to pay for the electricity, let alone the rent, I hope the city government can help ease the pressure.

　　Shin, another owner of Chinatown Beverage Shop, also mentioned the issue of rent and land tax.

During the epidemic, shopkeepers in Chinatown encountered various problems such as rent, insurance, taxation, and difficulty in paying utility bills. He will compile a list of various tax exemption, installment and rent support projects to be distributed to small business owners.
