I travel extensively throughout the country, believe me we are good drivers by comparison. The things people do in the South are absolutely mind-blowing.

Wonder why the delay with online/apps

I'm less worried about people lining their pockets, and more worried about it being shitty housing that is literally an order of magnitude over budget, years late, and poorly managed. When a land owner is late and goes over budget on a building project, they lose their own money, and it's a few percentage points over budget, and it's a few months late. When the state does the same thing, they could 10x the cost, it can be years late, and it's the state's (mine and yours) money that they are lighting on fire to give to their friends.

The solution is crystal clear; let people legally build higher. Whenever you walk into a high density neighborhood and see that all of the buildings are three stories tall and set back from the sidewalk, it isn't greedy developers refusing to build more housing because they hate money. It's the city making it literally illegible for them to build higher or closer to the property edge. Seriously, every single time you see this, it's 100% zoning rules preventing more housing from being built.

We have a lack of more housing in dense areas because it's literally illegal to build it. That's it. That's the entire problem. Fix that and the problem goes away. I'd rather the state focus on fixing the problems it already has before trying their hand at property development because they created a housing crisis by making development illegal for the residents of this state. The state doesn't need to fix the problem that they created. They can just stop making the problem.

Missing central Brighton. My wife works at a medical office across the street from St E’s which is basically the reason we still have a car. A line running down down Cambridge St would be beautiful, that area is car hell.

Add a Castle Island extension from Broadway for the hell of it too!

Biff's casino will be bankrupt soon.

Woah, great suggestion. I’ll give them a call today.

I don’t have a car so that won’t work for me

How come you replaced the Franklin/Forge Park CR line with a heavy rail purple line, then cut it off just a few stops before the terminus so it could go to Gillette? Seems like a strange design choice. Everything else looks pretty neat.

Also "Hingham" was spelled incorrectly twice.

In so many iterations, why don't they ever join up Cleveland Circle and Reservoir?

Okay, so this could be a hit or miss, but do you have baseboard heaters? If you do, make sure the vent flaps are opened up. When I came to Boston my first couple of years, I had no idea how baseboard heaters worked in these old houses, specifically that you had to manually open those vents. Made a huge difference!

So sad, more of the hardworking men and women of Massachusetts will have their money stolen by the wicked and evil gambling industry! I cry for our commonwealth!

It's right near the rideshare pickup on level B1.

I grew up there, you're absolutely right.

I was gonna say need to go to Providence for that. 😊

Yes, everyone who disagrees with you must be a troll.

Love BPL, never had an easier time getting a library card.

Obviously no guns = no shootings, but it won’t address violence in general. These kids clearly have shitty parents and are growing up disadvantaged from the start. I was taught other ways to deal with conflicts other than violence. These kids were not.

We periodically do the Freedom Trail and then end up at Ernesto's and somewhere in the North End for dessert, usually Caffe Vittoria. I enjoy it every time.

The existence of these new buildings doesn't mean we're building enough to address our housing issues, nor does make rent control any better of a solution. 2022 was the worst year for new housing construction in Boston since 2015, so you really aren't seeing that much new housing being built.

I was there on Saturday and they took out a bunch of games to put in the digital kiosks. Crazy that it's finally here

>Geico is really good and definitely saved me more than 15% in 15 mins

I hate that you pointed it out because I always felt like it was a gimmick. So freaking true.

Also fun fact, u can get quotes for houses when you are shopping for one. Helps with some estimates.

There’s always misinformation when it doesn’t fit the narrative….

We are nice. When people aren’t being fucking stupid.
