Yes, the lottery and casinos are also taxes on stupid people and people with addictive personalities. Statistics tells you that you're going to lose; some people don't get that, and other people get hooked in a futile attempt to reclaim the money they've already lost.

Yeah, last year I got fired and had to go on unemployment for two weeks and they paid it all to me in a lump sum like 3 months later lmao

youre comparing zone 1 and zone 8 whereas im comparing zone 1 and interzone 8

Worse case you stand for a few minute until people get off at those 1a stops and then you can sit. It’s not that big a deal. Still way better than sitting in traffic in your car for an extra 30 minutes.

Has this problem ever been solved, anywhere?

You can't argue that to the average citizen though, they don't understand the concept. They can't understand it... because they are stupid and ignorant when it comes to economics beyond basic arithmetic.

Just build it. Let them cry.

I'm going to put this in my back pocket, its only convincing if you deliver the line immediately

It's not the right kind of housing we should be building. I'm all for high density, but we need condos rather than apartments.

Basically a building practice that died during the 2008 recession and we've all been baited and switched that apartment complexes are the only option.

heavy machinery would already require regular drug testing

I think most pot shops frown on camera use in store

is it true any company that receives federal funding has to drug test? or is that only for certain industries like working for a state/city government

no if anything you are the fast track to Asst Mgr

Honestly love this. I'd bring the yellow line in a bit to service heavier populations, but I'm always amazed that the only way to get anywhere in greater Boston is to go downtown

Congestion itself is a tax on the respiratory health of poor neighborhoods.

Or maybe the people who benefit from the interconnectedness of a mobile population (everyone) should pay for the services required to support it (transit) through a small stipend (taxes)

As someone with family in Indiana who goes back multiple times a year.... I'd rather fly

oh boy wait until you find out we have bars here, too..

I don't think very many families would be piling into the studio/1bd apartments in these buildings, which leaves only some 2bds. It's not a genuine concern so much as it's a common way for towns to block new development.

My issue is every single new development is freaking "luxury." That's why that Braintree one bedroom has a ridiculous price.

At a rate that's lower than other forms of housing.

Also that leaves 315 units for potential families getting dumped into one school district.

I'm not saying it can't be dealt with, just that it's a concern.
