GPS from Boston actually encourages you to go 90>95 for that trip... curious if there is a noticeable spike on 93 that early.

Oh look. It’s still a pain in the ass to use public transportation to go from Cleveland circle to alewife despite them being 3 miles apart.

It wouldn't stay frozen or have much ability to freeze anything for long - the ocean is big [citation needed] and cryogenic liquids really don't have a lot of heat capacity compared to water.
Freezing stuff also usually doesn't damage much, unless there's water to expand inside it.

There’s also the House of the Seven Gables, which is worth visiting if you’re interested in that era of architecture or the link to Hawthorne. Their web site says they reopen Feb. 10, so that should work for you.

Except there are already requirements for public developers to include affordable housing. The required percentage of AMI just needs to be lowered

The MBTA should be reducing parking at it stations and using the land for residential development.
Train stations should be surrounded by housing and life, not parking lots.

Well yeah, again I’m not saying we shouldn’t build more housing at all

The private sector has no reason to build low income housing. If you factor in the cost of land, labor, and materials then there would be little ability to charge below market rates. Low income housing can really only be built by the state or city unless there is some magical developer who is willing to lower their profits.
The addition of newer units to the market should eventually lower the price of older ones. It may not be a perfect solution but it will still help.
Finally, to address how do we stop the “never-ending stream of wealthy people” moving here- we don’t. These people will continue to come here regardless of how much housing there is but if there aren’t enough newer/higher end units then they will opt for the older ones like they do now.

> What about Michigan? What about Maryland?
They’re 2/5, I’m focusing on the majority here.
Why do you think 3 of the top 5 are in states where guns are readily available?
Rounding out the top 10 are 2 cities in Ohio, another in Missouri, and one In Tennessee. 7/10 cities with the highest murder rate are in states with easy access to guns.
Why do you think that is?
> Why don’t you cherry pick a little more with your question
Ironic from someone who, wrongly here, cherry picked Chicago as an example.

>Congestion tolls are a tax on the poor.
A portion of the toll revenue could be used offset costs for low-income drivers.

If we want people to take public transportation it has to be cheaper and better than driving. I drive 2 hours everyday because it’s less expensive than taking the T. I would consider taking the train if it were less expensive.
