Thank you for filling in the details! I am not at all surprised that there was shady shit going on. Heres hoping the new committee will be better.

I just renovated a small condo kitchen in boston.

A) dont pull permits. Thats dumb. Its just going to slow down your project. B) lowes in-stock white shaker cabinets. Bring your measurements, they will design for you. C)new england appliance in braintree. Ask for tom mcnamara, and tell him you want to look at scratch and dent appliances.

I just did a beautiful condo kitchen, new floors, cabs, counters, appliances, and electric for $15k.

That's what they said in their final press release, but it's not really accurate. Other lgbtq groups (especially black ones) had been complaining for years about the people on the board, who had infinite term limits and never took any feedback (and were, as far as I know, all white and very disconnected) the george floyd protests happened and they put out a vague statement that had edited what their volunteers had written to remove the phases "black lives matter" and "we stand against police brutality". They also thew kind of a fit about being asked why they removed those phrases, and after some back and forth, 80% of the volunteer force left, so they COULDN'T really put on the parade anymore. Only then did they say they were dissolving the group (instead of passing it off to others, which is what people asked them to do). And they tried to spin that as stepping aside to let others lead.

Sorry for the wall of text, it just annoys me how they got to control the narrative there.

That’s for rent control. Rent-stabilized apartments are only stabilized for a number of years.

There’s a lack of lesbian spaces in Boston and it’s showing. I def recommend sapphic nights (they’re on Instagram I think) rather than pride if you’re looking for something that is more inclusive

as someone who worked in the prison system - i disagree that change happens from within. All the CO's i worked with are sad sacks of shit. There's a reason they were hired. Those that want to change policing and police brutality are NOT directly joining those positions.

I am asking how my replies were critical. I am trying to learn here.

New boot goofin!

Something like that

Isn’t that what that group of white nationalist was all about.

We used Form Kitchens for ours and we're happy with the outcome. Seems higher quality than Ikea. Total was ~$25k for just the cabinets, minus ~$5k refund for late delivery.

Our kitchen is 18'x10' L shape with 8' island. Appliances were ~$9k (we bought them about a year ago). ~$13k for 3cm Silestone countertops with 8.5" tall backsplash.

Dang when did that shit close?

I miss Bugaboo Creek and kissing the gross moose.

I thought it was disbanded last year because there was an outright neonazi/white supremacist on the pride board, but this was all gossip at the time.

I’m sure some annoying people will cancel this one too for not being “inclusive enough”.

>Do you have any responses to the questions I posed above?

Those were responses.

The problem is.... this isn't a Burger King.... and so you didn't get it your way.

I can think of two good questions you could ask yourself:

1. How are the assumptions you carry around anyone elses responsibility? it'ss a good question to ask!

2. And then ask yourself how anyone elses assumptions, are your responsibility.

And then work on the gap between the two answers, for the rest of your life. The rest of us are, and its your time to now too.

Thank you!

My kitchen is 7583 sq ft. Anyway the $15,000 includes the everything costs more in Boston tax.

If you do this, you will probably have to bring the kitchen up to code for electrical. Well depending on how old your kitchen is. A separate circuit for every 3-4 feet of counter space. Separate circuit for every appliance (refrigerator, stove, garbage disposal, built in microwave, etc). My small kitchen has 9 circuits.

Great!

Now you're promoting violence, the behavior of an animal.
