Mike’s Pastry, IMO. I don’t get why people get so upset over it. Half of the time, there’s not even a line, just a bunch of people taking up space.

on that note here is a link to sign up for the public meeting for bay city tomorrow at 6pm focused on housing https://www.bostonplans.org/news-calendar/calendar/2023/02/01/dorchester-bay-city-public-meeting-housing

I am not a member of the community advisory commitee but I sat through the last meeting and the advisors (whom mostly represented housing nonprofits ) just pushed for more "affordable" units. They were all in favor of the build. The developer has made a commitment to 20% affordable units out of 2,000. This would be a huge win for the city housing crisis. The problem is the developer says "putting aside concerns about the economy they could not break ground until middle of 2024.

If you are a Boston resident please consider attending the meeting, voice your approval of the project and hold the Wu administration responsible for delaying a publicly supported project for years in the middle of a housing crisis.

I feel like priority for most NIMBYs is not wanting more people near them, not the housing value

The housing value matters if you want to move short term but most nimby probably care more about what effect there will be on day to day life if they’re planning to stay in their home for a while

Obviously NIMBYs aren’t being helpful to fellow humans, but it also seems like an understandable instinct that people in a suburban neighborhood don’t want it to become more crowded, and don’t really gain anything of value otherwise

Maybe if developers could just legally bribe neighbors with cash to get projects approved that would work to reduce resistance

Bro, before the folks on this sub rip into you, I just want to politely tell you that saying, “I just wrote this to say not all cops are bad and there are lot of nice cops out there, but you have to show them respect like any human beings,” during a week when we’re learning the details of Tyre Nichols’ murder? Could be misinterpreted as you implying that showing police officers “respect” is the key to coming out of police interactions alive. If retail workers can get disrespected day in and day out without killing anyone, I sure as hell expect police officers to do the same.

I’m glad you had a positive experience. But just because you’ve never been burnt by a flame doesn’t mean that fire doesn’t burn.

Right, like let's built dense near rail... Maybe next near the highway... but encouraging people to sprawl with cars based upon being "close" to rail seems like they are using the MBTA community law as an excuse.

I feel like a broken record at times but we really need to start building up Worcester and Springfield and not rely on Boston to be the economic engine of the state.

They are Nike Missile silos

If you have been here two years you have barely experienced cold. This winter and last winter have been pretty warm.

I'd like to buy actual salt 'n pepper shakers that are copies of the Longfellow bridge towers.

They’re adding an additional $2 for the high hand and bad beat jackpot next month

I saw this go by my house this morning. I have never seen it before. It is huge!

Isn't there some offshore do-hickey for those now?

Yup I remember being in total shock when I heard that. Subaru is practically ubiquitous around here. I'm on my second one!

This is a Japanese built and owned ship, somehow fagged to Panama, bringing Japanese built cars to the US.

You won’t get anything but sass because This question gets posted nearly every month, and the answered are almost always similar.

If you want to try Mike’s but dont like crowds just go to the one in Assembly

So we can bet on the Super Bowl?

I think they were only 50 cents more expensive then bovas. The line wasn’t terrible but I hated that they rushed me like that. They just have pictures of the cannolis which I didn’t like too much as bovas had the actual thing in the front.

For an online service, I like Scan Cafe.

No it's just that alucabond (the material those are made of) comes in that color. Alucabond is cheap, easy and fast to install.

I really love this law, but I do LOL at Healey taking public credit for the Baker administration's work.

I do think there's further to go, in that this law is best coupled with additional investment in the bus and commuter rail system. Many towns have access to the MBTA, but it's not really usable access.

Better: Don't pull over. Just pop open a couple brews.
