I love all my neighborhoods equally. That said, I do not care for Beacon Hill.
Will somebody get me a vodka rocks?

Beacon hill. Good luck walking up that hill every fucking day. And then 4 flights of nearly vertical stairs.
Ask me how I know

If anyone is interested, the Metropolitan Waterworks Museum by Chestnut Hill is pretty dope. If the director is around, he has a ton of knowledge a d interesting personal engineering anecdotes.

I grew up on drinking quabbin and have drank NYC for 10 years. They are both amazing. I drink NYC water now without any filter all day. Better than plastic bottles for sure. But use a filter if it makes u feel better

Where is the thermostat in your apt? If it’s in a well sealed room, it may not be getting triggered by the cold and not turning on. Locate it and come to a consensus with your roommate(s) re what is a reasonable temp to keep it. In the meantime, buy window sealer from the hardware store and apply to your windows. It will help. I’d also suggest getting an electric blanket. A plush one with auto shutoff will help.

>police can operate well in preventing violence to our economic infrastructures and yet police can’t seem to grasp preventative interventions for people-vs-people violence.
Because that's their only real function: keep private property safe, directly proportional to how expensive it is. They guard money. Humans, they're apathetic to at best, if not outright antagonistic.

We have a room like that. We insulated the windows as everyone else has already suggested, put a thick rug down on the floor, but there were still strong drafts that were coming from the outlets and the baseboards. We put those baby-proofing plugs in any unused outlets, weather-taped around the covers, and then caulked the baseboards. If you can't manage caulk atm just use hot glue. It will peel up nicely in the summer when you are ready to caulk.
Make sure to use a humidifier, especially if you get a space heater.
We also found using a higher bed and not putting anything underneath it so that air could flow under the bed and move around the room helped a lot.

The North End of Boston is touristy but I wouldn’t call it a tourist trap.
