Also live on Mission Hill with a pristine driving record. My early 2010s sedans are about $1100-$1400/6mo with Progressive on their cheapest plan. Might switch to Geico after these comments though

You can usually tell who is batshit crazy from their words alone. If person 1 compares A to B and person 2 pretends that person 1 was comparing A to C and then writes "/s", person 2 is batshit crazy.

Good Bot!

I’m in a similar boat, but I need one for the summer. Does anyone know when stores start showing their summer collection? I would also need a seamstress since I’m short and need it hemmed.

that's funny, we had the same thing happen to us. were supposed to be there for just one but met a bunch of people from out of town and ended up having a blast that night.

You need to get your sea legs, this is a port city after all.

Yeah I prefer grad students sharing multi bedroom apts and homes, it's oh so much better for competing rents /s

The socialist wing of the left is so bat shit crazy on housing.

In Boston we drop our Rs so we just call it an oo here.

I will likely agree with anyone who has obvious goals of housing justice and a rational, humane urbanism. A person with those goals might be for or against a particular housing development depending on the details and depending on the displacements of the people there now.

If you will permanently remove 5 working class long-term resident families with kids in the local public schools in order to create a tall building with 200 graduate students living in studios then I'll probably be against you. Call me a NIMBY. I won't care.

If you don't increase the rent of those 5 families much and find temporary housing for them while you build your tall building and welcome them back into your tall building when it's done and introduce them to their new neighbors then I'll probably be with you. Call me a YIMBY. I won't care.

Disagree. The line can get just as long at Bova’s on a busy night and the cannoli at Mike’s is definitely better.

Took me way too long to get a Mike’s cannoli because of this type sentiment on this subreddit

You might be right.

>So the current residents will be driven to areas with less transportation and services.

What? The area is getting cheaper, not more expensive. That drives people to an area, not out of it.

I saw an article years ago that indicated that the danger of such an incident is seriously overblown. I forget the specifics, but it said that LNG requires a LOT of oxygen to become explosive, and a leak, etc. in the open is likely to dissipate the gas long before it reaches an explosive mix. The more likely scenario would be a fire that burns the fuel off. While that would severely damage the ship itself, as long as the fire was contained to the ship it could just slowly burn itself out with no significant damage to the surroundings.

Think of it being similar to lighting a bucket of gasoline on fire versus what happens when it's the vapors from gasoline that ignite.

So your 4 cylinder cars won’t start

Pro tip: Dip out after you see the Mapparium to skip the religious indoctrination part of the tour.

The automod is having a field day with this one huh

99.9% of the new 5/1 apartment buildings that get built would look beautiful if developers 1) stopped trying to push windows as far to the outside as possible (because residents have a window sill space fetish, apparently) and inset windows 4 inches from the wall and 2) used strong, saturated colors instead of the bland shitty beige/gray palette.

more like what happened to the bars in boston. city is so boring now, its all housing no one can afford.

I like all our touristy things, except the Tea Party Ship and Quincy Market (the indoor part with the food stalls and knicknacks).

Projects are great. They were considered bad when I was a kid, but now that I know people including family members in them I realize that they are like a golden ticket for the people who manage to get in. Offering long term security that allows people to build a life on.

Another idea: all housing that meets Passivhaus standards are exempt from local zoning and reviews.

Is there an explanation for why mobile doesn’t happen until March? I have to imagine all the apps are ready to basically just remove the location block for MA and turn it on

And also if you’re willing to take a drive, make sure to bump the search distance. I saved thousands on my current car by being willing to drive 100 miles to get it.

The Fairfield inn and suites in east cambridge is two stops on the green line (or a mile walk) from north station. I think it can be relatively affordable
