good. I like having nicer outdoor spaces and more affordable-housing options, and I like having a say in where specifically my tax money goes to.

a triple-decker assessed at $700K will only need to raise rents by ~$4/month per unit to pay for the CPA.

If the $5/month or whatever it ends up being for most landlords significantly impacts rents then I think it'll be pretty clear who is to blame.

Hell yeah we did! This is really great news for anyone who cares at all about making Worcester a good place to live.

Our cops don't bother enforcing any traffic laws. Utterly absurd that the best funded department of city government can simply not do its job with zero consequences whatsoever.
Incidentally, this is why we need cameras at intersections. Nab speeders, red light runners, and box blockers all at once.

Oh well.... I was pretty against this but I will also probably be one of the people that benefit from it so I guess fuck it.

The way people drive in Worcester, I'm reminded of that episode of Parks & Rec where we find out people in Pawnee put their whole mouth over the water fountain spout. Like, y'all realize no one else in the country drives like this, right?

I can’t say. The renters will have to deal with that

Yeah that increase of $40 a year is really going to hurt.

Worcester has Terrible drivers. This is one of Many problems. I swear I see a potentially fatal incident about once a week! My favorite are the drivers whose bodies/seats are positioned in the dead middle of the lane, as if they sit in the middle of their car.

It’s arrest-able offense in New York ? Don’t get me wrong I would love it to be and even across the state of Massachusetts, but if it were true, my dad would be in jail every week.
I think it should be a heavily enforced and ticketed offense, and agree the more they crack down on this would make the roads flow smoother

Yeah it'd really be nice if they started enforcing traffic laws... All over the city.

And it’s those jackasses who hit the guy crossing the street in the cross walk turn a short walk into serious injury or dead.

This is something I notice happens in Worcester more than anywhere else in the state. In NY, it’s almost an arrest-able offense. It’s like the people going 5mph under the seeps limit in the passing lane. It’s never enforced so nobody cares. Once the cops start nailing these people, it’s not gonna stop. People are much too selfish to consider others.
