Residents at the Majestic Isle Condominium in North Bay Village are on a time crunch, as they packed their last-minute belongings after their building was deemed unsafe. Fifty or so residents have to be out by Tuesday morning, and it remains unclear when they will be able to return home. “Surreal, absurd and infuriating,” said a man named Cesar, as he packed his belongings. The 60-year-old building was deemed unsafe after a pipe burst last week leading to a further inspection of the building, which revealed other problems, such as sagging floors and termite damage in several units. “My husband just had a surgury, you know, like a week ago. This moving, packing is really very stressful,” said a woman named Maria. 7News cameras captured residents packing their belongings into their vehicles and some even rented out U-Hauls.“It’s hard, very hard,” said Maria.

Local elected leaders have launched a new push for public transportation at no cost to riders across the country as they re-introduce the “Freedom to Move Act.” Senator Ed Markey and Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley recently discussed the legislation, which would bring in government funding to support free rides, at an event at Ruggles station in Boston on Monday. The move comes as Boston already has an experiment in place using federal funds to eliminate fares on three local bus routes. Officials say ridership on buses went up by 35% with the elimination of fares. The move has also put more money in the pockets of riders including Connie Forbes, who recently discussed her free public transit rides. “You just get on the bus and you put yourself into a seat, you’re done,” Forbes told 7NEWS. “Instead of having to figure out where to put the money in the meter or tap your card.““This is actually saving us a bit of money to go towards something essential like food,” For...Winthrop police note increase in reported vehicle break-ins, thefts
