Reply to comment by 3720-To-One in High Density Housing Development Near South Shore Plaza Receives Pushback by amos106
That is what people think lol. There is SOME cause for concern about price fixing on rents, but again, the only way to combat high rent prices is to increase supply

vices aren’t crimes and not necessarily without their own level of “class”

MBTA is a state agency, BPD is not. They have different funding sources.

I used to work in Charlestown, and my office building had a view of the Mystic River and I frequently saw tankers going by.

Reply to Been trying to sign up for USPS' "Informed Delivery" for an address in city proper. Am told "You do not have a valid address." Just me? Are others in the city proper able to sign up for Informed Delivery? by carlojomomma
I’m in the city proper with USPS Informed Delivery. It’s the best thing ever. I try to inform anyone that I can about it. It’s great when you’re away. And the days where you can’t be bothered to check the mailbox knowing it’s just junk mail.

I had that same impediment as a kid. I said "wed" instead of "red." I finally learned to say R correctly when I was 7. The most embarrassing thing is that both my first name and my last name begin with the letter R.

Is it penalizing driving to subsidize driving less?
That's a pretty hard sell.

Why are you putting the burden of a state agency's funding on the city of Boston?
Edit: Just so we're clear, BPD's budget isn't in the billions, it's just under $400 million

The only concern would be if it’s against company policy to consume cannabis products. And if it is, she is also violating it. So you are fine.

No, that fare is correct. I thought there’s no way that’s right, so I looked it up. It’s right. (Which is crazy.)
The inter zone fare is 6.25, for covering 8 zones. The straight fare for 8 zones is 12.25.

Ask her to go have a smoke at lunch. Years ago i found out my boss smoked. We ended up getting stoned in her car at lunch all the time.

I agree. There are other issues besides just price that make the commuter rail less attractive to lower wage workers. As a white collar worker, I can set my hours around the train schedule—most low wage workers cannot.
Most transit riders in Hyde Park are taking the 32 bus to Forest Hills and transferring to the Orange Line. There are about 10,500 rides on this bus route each weekday. Another 1500 on the 24 bus to Ashmont. Only about 1000 get on or off the commuter rail at Hyde Park

I don't know if they repair holes in leather, but I took a leather shearling jacket that I'd inherited to be altered (taken in/shortened) to Le Couturier House of Alterations between Porter and Harvard Sqs, and they did a job that I was very happy with. I can't speak too much re:the price, because I didn't shop around. It was more expensive than regular tailoring, but a price that I was happy with as a grad student.
