City Councilor President Maureen Feeney ("MoFee") has suggested hosting a gigantic town meeting at the South Boston Convention Center in the spring, the Globe reports.

The mayor is not feeling the idea because of the teeming hordes that are likely to descend up on the convention center to speak their minds and he has to listen to kvetching all the time, anyway. But the mere presence of teeming hordes is the point. All too often in Boston, people get the feeling that no one is listening to them. People shout at the top of their lungs, and they are often eloquent with their complaints, but nothing seems to get done.

Count Bostonist in. We have a lot on our minds--gun control, icy sidewalks long after a snow, a parking garage for Southie to stop the space-saving, safety for cyclists … the list is long. If Councilor Feeney is opening the door, we'll walk right in, and we bet that plenty of people will join us. It may seem impractical, but this idea is one worth trying.
