They trains are back online - they offloaded my shuttle bus at Kendall.

Or in the checkout line at Amazing Intimate Essentials.

Oh, what do you got there Sally? Huh, I didn't even know they made gasoline powered ones. How many horse power...? Oh, never mind, my mistake - I saw the word "horse" on the box and just assumed. Well, anyway, um, have fun!

Increasing the housing supply of any kind brings down prices for everyone.

This sounds silly but the people who reply to both jeff@amazon.com and ec@amazon.com are very responsive when their normal customer service won’t help.

Why are there about 50 facists larping by pleasure island rd in wakefield rn?

That seems like a littttttle bit of a stretch. Many fail to live up to their own intentions, and adopt half-measures and can-kicking. Weirdly, however, crime is down, guns are down, teen pregnancy is down, unemployment is down, trash is down, education is up, incomes are up, amenities are up, in most of those cities over the course of the last couple decades.

Indeed, the reason we have the housing price crunch and the gentrification and displacement is that American cities (all major US cities are varyingly blue) have become much more desirable locations over the last couple generations. Maybe that's a result of progressive leadership, maybe it's not, but a lot of things that we cared about a generation ago are a lot better now. Change is slow and imperfect.

Edit: PS the adjective is "Democratic", when you're not watching Tucker.

Fuck, that's horrible.

So when, in this long line of supplying the wealthy flooding into Boston with housing, will we get around to supplying housing to the low-income who live here? What do we do to help them in the meantime? And how do we prevent the increase in housing simply attracting more wealthy people in a never-ending stream?

EDIT: ITT idiots who think I’m suggesting we don’t build new housing at all

I did as well thinking that it was live - if you look at the top left though it still says on mine that you’re not in an area that betting is allowed (assuming you are located in MA)

I was also surprised to see casino games like blackjack on there - maybe those won’t be allowed in MA when it does go live?

You ever play fantasy football or anything? Same kind of appeal. Also you can still avoid tax the way people have always done that, with a bookie

This turn of events given that earlier paints a grim picture.

At the very least, the bus between South Station and Broadway is taking the rarely used shortcut by the post office sorting facility.

Can you place a bet? I just grabbed one of the first articles when I googled it and:

“In-person betting will go live on January 31st barring any unforeseen setbacks. According to Joe Murray, there will be a “soft-open” on Monday, January 30th. This comes after the Massachusetts Gaming Commission approving retail licenses to Encore Boston Harbor, Plainridge Park Casino and MGM Springfield in recent weeks.

As for mobile bets, regulators have said in the past they hope to have mobile bets up and running in early March 2023.”

From a sports hub article but I’ve seen it on other sites:

You can get a gun at Best Buy?

Seriously don’t sweat it, but don’t mention anything either… just go about your day like normal… there is too much stigma about cannabis. It’s legal in ma so folks need to stop treating it as illegal…

Apparently someone under a train on the tracks at park street.

Was just there. A lot of the shops are closed because “seasonal”, but there’s no lack of witch/occult themed shops open still. There’s a section of town with old brick road that has a lot of the shops which fits that vibe. Peabody was great, although somewhat discontinuous with the rest of the town. Lots of interesting Asian exhibits. It’s a huge, modern museum. Nothing witchy, though.

Honestly the witch trial sites themselves are not particularly interesting. It’s mostly old buildings, some of which have modern residents, the memorial, which isn’t very notable, and a cemetery with some somewhat notable people.

MBTA said a medical emergency at Park Street 20 minutes before the shuttles were announced.

They’re a Joe Rogan fan so they probably have the IQ of a child

Transit App says it's due to a police investigation at Park Street. I wonder if this is due to a criminal activity or if someone got hit by a train.

It's only you and me talking, so you proved something to yourself.

Fuck NIMBYs. We need the density.

If your working on a project why not talk to the old timers that work for I think it’s called “sparks” that follow fire fighters n provide food n water . Weren’t some of them the ones who were involved/accused if I remember correctly.
