As a New Englander for more than 40 years, I can tell you there has always been a subset of people who wear shorts year-round. But 15-20 years ago people started posting their photos online for you to see. And apparently you were angry about it.
Before that, only their moms got upset about it, and only because it made the moms cold to see it.

Reply to comment by MaddyKet in Mass. GOP in disarray: Party may have $600,000 in debts, misreported hundreds of thousands in spending, memo says - The Boston Globe by TouchDownBurrito
Yeah I still couldn’t bring myself to vote R with Baker. Even when he was re-elected, I think I went for the Green candidate (because the D candidate was so unbelievably awful. I’m don’t even remember his name)

Not directly on point, but how long does it take to go from Ashmont to So. Station at 7:00 - 8:00 in the morning?

Reply to comment by 8cuban in Has anyone bought a car from an out of state dealer and registered it in MA? How long did it take to get your new plates? by Yakb0
That's not true. I bought my car in new York and left with NY plates. It was definitely a huge pain in the ass to transfer everything though

Reply to comment by johnmcboston in $122M to build a new bridge for 160 Dorchester Yacht Club members!?! by LivingMemento
I don’t drive there that often , so I didn’t realize how much clearance there was. What is the current schedule for the bridge opening? Would altering it to low tide be much different?

If you were alive 30 years ago you'd recall them then also. But you weren't. So DO tell us all about your world.

Bonus points for the bystander holding her screen door open, just looking at the crunch(es) and watching people on the scene also standing around.

If you work out a lot, it always feels like you're burning. A thermogenesis effect.
They must be feeling that.

Reply to comment by Anustart15 in What would it take to mitigate the downside of rent control, specifically the skimping on maintenance? by letoatreides_
If it's $2000 that can only go up to $2200 but there's enough demand where that same place can be listed for $2600, a landlord can and will do that. Even if they're losing a full month's rent to re-list it (most likely, they'd just shift the next tenant to a mid month lease), that increase would pay itself off within a few months.
It's a market problem. Any solution not focused on the root problem of supply is going to be inadequate and ineffective.

Morrissey Blvd should just be raised and the bridge should be high enough to let most boats thro. As someone who operated the granite ave bridge and would turn off the radio to the other bridges because of how many requests would come thro for that bridge(some time 2-5 mins apart from each other). Also most boat residents frankly feel cool when they call the bridge to have it opened when a majority of the time it’s their antenna that need to be lowered to fit under… Simply why block traffic to hundred of people at a time for one small marina!
