Mayor of Boston focused on Boston things. Movie at 11.

I took a taxi from the airport last Sunday about 11am and I'd probably do that again if I were in your situation. Oddly there were no taxis at the taxi stand but they radioed for one and it showed up in about 3 minutes, which is better than what you can expect from Uber/Lyft even on a good day. Once on the road there was minor traffic in the tunnel but no real delays.

Congestion tolls are a tax on the poor.

That's only because there are no working class neighborhoods left so why not just use the old standby

I grew up drinking Taunton water, frequently came back brown or with visible flecks. Can't believe that garbage heap was ever considered to be the capital

I hope my GR86 is on there.

Oh hey, you need a suit? Want to look fine? Well shit, my friend say no more. I will just use the search tool for you since you probably did not bother to do so.

They're not charging above market rate, they're charging the market rate. The market rate for a 1bd apartment in Braintree in a new building is $2500 because people in towns like Braintree think a couple new apartment buildings next to a highway and a giant mall would add too much density.

Well, if you were around in 2013 you knew there was nothing inside as you watched them being disassembled and then rebuilt...

Thought they were just rubber stamping EVERYTHING at this point...

I don't recommend space heaters as that will kill your electric bill. Those are only typically worth it if you have a whole house/apartment but only need heat in one room as that's then a trade-off. If it's only at night that's your issue you can also get a sleeping bag that's what I used to do when I lived in an apartment that was from the early 1800s, covered the windows then used a sleeping bag + wool blanket + quilt just grab your morning clothes and get back in to warm em up and keep slippers nearby so your not walking around on cold floors

That's just grandma's car.

Sounds like this can be solved by replacing a branch with a separate line. The downside is that you need to change trains to get downtown.

I mean if I’m at a bar and 2 sub 500 NBA teams from across the country are battling it out in a meaningless game I’d rather watch anything else, much more exciting to put a couple dollars on it with a buddy and sit there and get pumped up about some guy hitting a meaningless 3 with 4 minutes left down 25 because you’ve got 10 bucks on him having over 12 points or something lol

Different strokes for different folks, it’s obviously a predatory Industry but so are tons of others that we just accept as part of life

Your example is great. However, it doesn't factor in price for those who need to use the subway or bus once you get into the city. The monthly pass has those fares included.

Bruins game, and start the evening at Sullie's Tap. Total guy night out in Boston, zero romance.

The uncomfortable reality of the situation is that the problem cannot be solved by aggressive government intervention. Most of this violence stems from individuals lacking anger management and conflict resolution. Why inner city low income young black men have much higher rates of inability to resolve conflicts without violence is the question palgueing many cities around the US.

I haven’t shot a firearm in years, so it’s hardly a hobby. My guns have dust on them. Stop being a sarcastic child and talk like an adult. The prevalence of guns from 2023 is no different than in 1983. Society is broken.

OP belongs in r/lostredditors for not knowing this

That’s clearly Apple Maps not Google Maps

Oh no an elementary school! Can't have housing near one of those! Everyone knows putting a new building by an elementary school causes 100% of those kids to start doing hardcore drugs immediately!

Eh, it's not really singularly NIMBYs, as much as that's a convenient Boogeyman. Boston has had an insane growth/interest since the growth of software, biotech industries, and the complete beautification of the city with the completion of the Big Dig in 2008. Software industry didn't really become a thing in Boston until the mid aughts as well.

It's much easier to say "boo NIMBYS", sure but it's a much more complicated mix of factors that are less than 2 decades in the making.

I think it makes more sense to have the urban ring go through longwood than Kenmore. Maybe have it cut through Coolidge Corner and down to Harvard St on the B branch. Most people are going to Longwood anyways so it’d save them the transfer + people on the outer parts of the Greenline wouldn’t have to go as far to transfer

Yikes what is up with the uptick in youth violence?
