Nooooooo!!!!!! The Moral degradation of our society continues and that dream of a shining city on the hill, a beacon to the nations, seems further than ever from being a reality! I weep for our faire commonwealth and city!

Take it to a local Carmax if you hate haggling or putting up ads or selling by yourself!

Why can alcohol companies advertise their extremely harmful and addictive products when Cigarette companies cannot? I think we should ban alcohol companies from advertising.

Reply to comment by senatorium in Maura Healey wants to solve the state’s housing crisis. Here’s step one. by _Hack_The_Planet_
That's a strange take from the Mayor. Senior housing is great for town coffers. Lots of tax revenue, little use of town resources (schools).

I can't help but wonder what Will Hunting would have said if that grad student didn't like apples.

Reply to Extremly Unrealistic Fantasy MBTA Subway map. The Silver Line is converted into light rail. Let me know what your favorite part of the map is and what I missed. by Wide_right_yes
That's not North Canton. It is North of 128 like where the Dunkin HQ used to be. The stop called 138 you have would be more like North Canton.
I understand why you put the stop there, but just needs a different name.

Lynn is rad but the coast stinks to high hell in the summer.
West Lynn Creamery closing has helped but they still have an open air treatment plant off the Lynnway and near sentient red tide algae blooms come late August (and now creeping into July)

Riverside doesn't make it into Weston, though it's on the border. There's no comparison of Newton and Quincy with Weston. Both are dense cities with multiple green and red line stops.

Gen Z can own a home in their 20’s. In the South. Where zoning laws are weaker because business interests are stronger.
Hilariously, business interests are more equitable with regard to housing than “the people”.

They serve warm nuts at The Last Hurrah. Get those! And a martini and clam chowder.

Reply to comment by IphtashuFitz in Massive ship in the harbor this morning by NAFAL44
Sure, the LNG probably wouldn't detonate (not enough O2 like you said- it would burn but it would burn relatively "slowly") but if the hull on one of those ships ever failed you would get a wave of cryogenic liquid washing ashore. It would do a lot of damage from freezing. And then catching on fire.
No boom, still a big problem.

Reply to comment by blackknight1 in Are there any places/activities in Boston that are underrated because they are typically associated with tourists or being touristy? by MrMadLeprechaun
My feeling is that once you reach a threshold of not being terrible, they plateau and are pretty much the same -- an okay, but overall unremarkable dessert in the mix of options.

Texas… the fastest growing state largely because of its lack of strict zoning laws.

> “The Market” isn’t going to solve this problem, it’s perfectly fine with how expensive housing is.
The market is why Houston is cheap. It doesn’t have the senseless idiocy of zoning laws.

Native New Yorker here, lived in Boston since 2017 and I prefer NYC water to Boston. Loved in Sarasota as well, and Boston is much better than Florida water. Best water I’ve had was in Budapest. Just my two cents

Reply to 8-month-old baby injured in Duxbury family tragedy dies, DA says by Jezebels_lipstick
I live in the area, a family member of mine was the eldest daughters teacher, and a close friends sister was called into the ER to deal with the the situation given Her long term experience. My understanding is that the family had been using online grocery shopping and pickup/delivery with the moms ongoing health issue, and dad had been working at home. That night, the wife had him get grocery’s from a different supermarket, one about 25, vs the 5 away their normal store. My family member, the teacher, said by all accounts the family was happy, supportive, and the girl was so happy. She drew her a rainbow the last day she was in class(she loved to draw rainbows) the mom was inpatient and I don’t know if she was released because her benefits ran out because the doctors thought she was stable enough for outpatient. While yes, “why leave the kids?!” He was working from home, and the grocery store(I know the area) is a mere five minute drive with curbside pickup. He was doing everything possible to prevent this. I’m sure she wasn’t recommended to drive for mental health reasons. If the doctor deemed her stable enough, and her reasoning for you to take the extra 10,15 mins to go to the store for something, and no one in their worst nightmare, let alone the person birthed your three kids and helped many other babies come into the world(she was a pediatric nurse). All of that considered, the states immediately pressing charges because sending her husband away for extra time is clearly grounds for premeditated murder. I feel intense sadness for her, the punishment will be her not having her children, because our mental health system is inadequate. The state and law and country however this could be huge with “not guilty by reason on insanity” precedents
