Interesting compare-and-contrast in the local dailies regarding the legacy of this weekend’s Occubye Boston decampment.

Boston Globe: A daily reminder of the human cost of the recent economic downturn.

Boston Herald: A $50,000 bill for the city.

Saturday’s Herald devoted a full page to the damage Occupy Boston has visited on the Rose Kennedy Greenway:

Greenway mass effect! Now comes the cleanup

The Utopian dreamers of Occupy Boston are leaving behind a disgusting field of filth on the formerly scenic Rose Kennedy Greenway, where trees will have to be replanted, grass resodded, sprinklers repaired or replaced and the entire area power-hosed in a massive cleanup that could take weeks.

“We’re close to the end of it, which is very good news. Soon, the park can be repaired and open to the general public,” Nancy Brennan, executive director of the Rose Kennedy Greenway Conservancy, said late yesterday. “We hope everyone makes a voluntary decision, and this can be a good, dignified end” . . .

Brennan couldn’t provide an estimate for what the final repair bill will be, but local landscapers pegged it at upward of $50,000.

Saturday’s Globe devoted a full paragraph to the damage:

Many of the hallmarks of the tent compound — a statue of Gandhi, a food tent, and a library — were gone, and the camp was strewn with trash, tarps, and mud.

A Globe editorial also glossed over the environmental effects:

The end of the camp, which had come to present a health risk to participants, allows demonstrators to move past the increasingly distracting disputes about where and whether they could legally pitch tents.

Who’s sweeping what at this point?
