Fuck NIMBYs! All my homies hate NIMBYs.

If the snowstorm is bad enough, every travel method will be disrupted. Driving would certainly be just as delayed, or more, along with a high risk of getting into a crash. Biking would barely work at all. Walking could work if you have the right gear, but you need to be prepared and take it slow. Flights would be delayed or cancelled. Busses might be ok, if there are bus lanes for enough of the route and the plows got to them, but even that's iffy. There just isn't a good way to travel when the snow is that bad, and holding the commuter rail to an unrealistic standard doesn't really help.

Yeah that’s not what I was saying but whatever. Enjoy that glass house of yours watching classy men beat the shit out of each other in a ring

"all zone 1a to zone 1 have cheaper options" which in many cases are also waaaayyyy slower and less reliable. from my experience T buses get delayed much more often and by much longer than the commuter rail. some examples:

newtonville to boston landing: 6 minutes vs 50-60 minutes with a transfer

belmont to porter: 6 minutes vs ~30 minutes with a transfer

waverley to north station: 23 minutes vs 1 hour with two transfers

wedgmere to west medford: 3 minutes vs 40 minutes including a transfer and a half mile walk

unless your zone 1 stop is on a frequent bus route or a "rapid" transit route, looking at current estimates it is anywhere from ~3 to ~15 times slower to get from zone 1 to 1A without using the commuter rail. not to mention transfers (likely outdoors and standing) and needing to walk.

Sure some people will become addicted and lose a ton of money gambling, but the vast majority will not and just gamble small amounts of money for fun. Pretty similar to drinking in that regard, some people are alcoholics but the majority will just drink socially in relatively healthy amounts. Like all vices, it’s about moderation

Just hold down the L button, set tax rates to negative value, go with the figures, release L button. $9999999

Sure and there’s worse. We used to have a dog track for instance 🤦🏼‍♂️

Just walk. Especially if you're as close as Government Center. The T just isn't worth taking.

Seriously, if you're within a mile, it's just better to walk.

Those lineups are all pretty killer. The old man in me my knees is sad there are no seated options though, entire venue is GA.

MIT West sends blessings

I think a lot of people are downvoting this because it sounds judgey and I called the whole city classless.

Nice essay though!

You can park downtown for half that on the weekend. You just need to know where to look.

*Totten Pond Road. Not Totem Pond.

> In the ~100 times I’ve taken the Needham Line I’ve never had a train more than a couple minutes late.

So basically, you rode it once and it came on time?

CR pre-covid had daily delays on just about every line exceeding 15 minutes.

Taxes ..... 99.2%

> Now do you think they were commuted with legally owned firearms or not?

Now do you think a vast majority of those guns originate with a legal purchase at a gun store?

> and democrat mayors

Are most gun laws set at a city or state level?

At Louisiana and Missouri red states or blue states?

It's generally not the progressives who run crying to the Republicans when people talk about raising the gas tax.

Gas tax needs to be revisited soon anyway. Once most cars are electric, the gas tax stops being meaningful at all. We need a vehicle miles traveled tax instead.

Getting caught in an unexpected midnight construction jam on 93 is brutal.
