The unoccupied real estate thing is a really odd problem. You'd think with how valuable real estate is property wouldn't sit vacant, but when you start looking around for them, they're everywhere. There are three SFHs that have been empty long-term within a block of me. Two of them belong to elderly people in nursing homes without family and are just waiting for them to die. They've been vacant for years. The third had owners pass away and the kids are fighting over the list price for months.

Yeah, that makes sense to me and is what we should be encouraging. The other option is to build more tracks, but with more bike paths being built on the old ones I don't think that will be happening...

They are not white attributes. No human being is bestowed special powers because of their race. You don’t magically become a well informed being because your skin is a certain color.
There are however inequities perpetuated by our failing governments that happen to benefit white people disproportionally due to a history of slavery and religious justifications of that slavery which allowed our infrastructure to expel certain types of people from said benefits. After centuries of such practices it’s no question why there is a massive equity gap.
One disproportionate fact is the way black Americans are brutalized by the criminal legal system. That is what these protests are about. Not that we don’t respond to these problems (which credit to the US, with every decade it cares a bit more). It’s just that these such problems shouldn’t exist. At all.

Somewhere a Russian oligarch is on his yacht reading OP’s headline and laughing his ass off.

And you need to negotiate/haggle! Never pay sticker for anything over $500!

Are you surprised that elderly people on fixed incomes don't want the taxes on their home to go up?

Will you please stop spamming the thread with this? You made your point, anything beyond that is basically masturbatory graffiti.

They typically show up in the port by Charlestown! When I lived there I loved seeing the vehicle carriers show up. Absolutely enormous. They look huge even up on the Tobin

Exactly. I just bought a Volvo and went through Amex's car buying program to find it.
