Lmfao I mean your comment showed you’re not that intelligent. The fact that you can’t pick up simple satire is even further proof

Oh yeah, I know what you’re talking about.

This would be a major improvement.

Tiny 2 story office building, small auto shop + car lot. Picture on page 12 of the document

No GLX is the first thing I noticed too

That sucks

Yeah, adds a great insulating layer without killing all your natural light.

The people of Dover would have a collective aneurism if any rail came through. Let alone the orange line.

I had no idea you could turn a virtual monopoly and a guaranteed mathematical advantage into minus billions, but I probably just don’t understand the financial Kung fu going on behind the scenes with the sale and lease back.

>Teenage boys are stupid, have always been stupid, will always be stupid.

If left to their own devices? Sure. So are adults.

Start holding parents accountable and watch how smart teenagers can become.

Goodwill in Quincy is hit or miss, but I’d check them out, sometimes they’re loaded with old toys.

American households on average spent $10k on cars in 2021. So $833/month. $4000-$833=$3167, often shared by 2 young professionals at $1583.5 per person. Seems perfectly reasonable to be 15 min away from downtown (by T).

I lived in Medford/Malden on the range line for a couple years, at much cheaper rent tho. The commute to downtown office was 30min except a few bad days.

I like the part where they specify they will plant 2 trees.

Is that the joke? On the man’s widow? You got her Jane. You reeeeeeallly got her.

What’s there currently?

The silver line is NOT a bus line.

Step one, everyone works Step two, do away with government assistance Step three, the price of rent and real estate will adjust to levels the working people can afford...

Branches are bad, long branches of varying lengths are worse.

As reminder, every time you branch, you split the mainline frequency. Every 3 minutes on the main line turns into every 12 if you've got 4 branches and you're feeding them equally. If they get high ridership, you can further than run into the Green Line situation where it is physically impossible to stuff more trains into your mainline and so you can't raise branch frequencies further.

Beyond that, the longer the branch the harder it is to feed the trains into the mainline in their intended scheduling/order - there's more that can "go wrong"/vary.

Nah you're just a grouch.

Youre using 1990, a huge gang war year, as a bellwether. It was 33 years ago and not an average year as far as violence. We’ve had an average of 3 shootings a week so far in 2023. You are seriously trying to get me to believe that jamming (widely unused) bike lanes everywhere in the city is somehow stopping gangbangers from shooting eachother?

33 units, not bad. better than what's currently there

>planting of two new trees

monumental

The state keeps adding revenue streams but infrastructure keeps getting worse.

I’m not an architect or have any construction experience so when I said “brick” I meant good looking brick or other material. I see all sorts of new traditional style buildings built in Europe and they look beautiful and look like a part of the neighborhoods they are built in.

All the 5/1’s in Mansfield are a story taller than any other building, and are way more massive too. They stick out like a sore thumb.

The yellow line seems a bit much, with that much line extension and intersection already, it’s probably better as a few local buses.

If they just extended the mattapan line and E line to Forest Hills, the city would be much better connected. Orange line out to Readville/West Roxbury would make sense and would be at least a little bit realistic, since there’s already right of way and track down those routes.
