Reply to Tool libraries? Does anyone know of any tool libraries in the greater Boston area?

Maybe a local hardware store such as Inman Hardware rents one. If you find one, please let us know.

the description from tufts covers that no? Even just using real estate as an example, who do you think is buying sub million dollar real estate and then having it turn into a profit decades later? I feel like I'd describe someone who can afford 500-800k property as upper middle class no? Just look at the other post about Darwin's owners closing the business. Are they wealthy or just upper middle class?

Even if Q1 applied to house sales, it still wouldn't apply to you cause the diff in value isn't high enough

I doubt they’d have it, but the Dover public library has various tools. I don’t think they would have anything pneumatic, but you can ask.

I legitimately know people who were mostly concerned it would make it harder to attract star athletes to the sports teams, and felt like MA has plenty of money.

This is why taxis are losing to Uber and Lyft.

Why don’t you losers go back to where you came from…Cambridge was a great city before you morons fucked it up. None of your ideas are good, you make everything worse.

So you have explained that it won’t hit most of the people that it hits repeatedly but you have not explained how it will hit the upper middle class, which is what he asked, and something I would love to see answered.

The idea that the burden falls on their shoulders is untrue. People with money aren’t heroes, stuff just costs money. It’s a privilege to pay more in taxes.

This is a good point. It’s the lines between:
Near Wealthy | Wealthy | Ultra Wealthy
It’s not a bad move but it’s not the big fix.

It’s not 6% of the state that’s impacted. They say in the article it would apply to around 0.6% of the state. The part that you quote with 6% is not referring to 6% of the entire state, but 6% of the people who exceed the 1 million dollar threshold.

What is your main objective in filing a complaint? Second objective?
In other words fill:
I’d be happy if ______.
I’d be satisfied if ______.

It's still there. On Amherst St on the odd side from the MIT medical lot to the corner of Wadsworth St. Only signs are tow zones to protect the side walks and corners. The other sign posts are just bare polls.

It's worth my effort. Paying $20 more than what I should pay is a lot for someone in my situation. I also don't think it's right for drivers to take advantage of people but that's just the idealist in me.

Is this really worth your effort ?
I'd get over it and Uber next time.

Will do! I’ll add a comment (or maybe a new post) with all the cool resources I find for other DIYers who are avoiding the orange store. 🙃
