NEWTON—Globe columnist Adrian Walker says Mayor Setti Warren is trying to stall to death a conversion of an old firehouse into apartments for the formerly homeless: "I'd have slightly more respect for Warren, whom I've known and liked for years, if he just admitted that he doesn't think Engine 6 is worth the political headache it threatens to become.
