Their point was that people from Boston have already answered these questions. Read the old posts first, and then post your own if you really can’t find an answer.

Ultimately there is no way to make it significantly better just due to raw distance. You really should look for a different job if moving is completely out of the question as your post suggested. Figure out your monthly travel cost currently and see if you can find anything closer that is at least the same earning or within the margin of what you spend to travel to and from Amherst.

I mean, it's not exactly "weirdly" dead. 5-10 years ago there basically wasn't a thing there of interest to the general public besides the liquor store and Stop & Shop. Redev of a lot of the rest of the area is still in progress.

Also, there is a good, longstanding, relatively cheap bar literally around the corner from where Brato was that also runs a solid craft selection on tap.

If your craft brewery isn't making spectacular beer, why would I drink there vs said bar?

Yes, and.

Last month a traveler got stabbed in South Station men's room. So sometimes their presence is justified. Normally not a fan of the MBTA police, otherwise.

Not sure why you got the downvotes.

It’s not an app, it’s a pdf of all the slow zones they need to fix

They have a blog, if you want to follow some of their activity. http://www.tpdnews411.com/

Agreed. Normally I concur with the sentiment provided by the original poster, but even before the second round of sleet and freezing rain last night, trying to get the first round of ice and snow off yesterday was exceptionally difficult.

Step one is admitting you have a problem

> Rent prices are driven exclusively by the balance of supply vs. demand in a given market.

This isn't fully accurate. Yes, the supply relative to demand is a major driver. Average incomes and income distributions also impact prices.

In Boston, we have low supply relative to demand AND high average incomes AND high dispersion of incomes.

This results in landlords being able to price available apartments at high prices because the pool of potential renters: a) don't have a large supply to choose from, and b) some in the renter pool have very high incomes and are willing to pay a lot because of the low supply.

> Transit police plan to charge the man, whose name was not released, with assault with the intent to murder

Damn right

Yeah I think the most obvious theory is that they blew too much cash building out their brewing op and along with the pandemic it was a two punch knockout.

> people are no damn good

I guess there is no good translation of "damn". https://translate.google.com/;?sl=auto&tl=la&text=people%20are%20no%20damn%20good&op=translate

I'll probably still try them again, but I was excited to try Bone and Bread's noodles - sounded great on the menu - but man, it was on par with packaged Indomie and the meat wasn't at all what they had listed... and all for $15.

Widowmaker, however, is always fantastic - favorite brewery on the South Shore.

They are riding in uniform again?

I've seen them around when the fencing around the tracks gets stolen.

Considering how often the fences get stolen they suck at their job.

I've seen them set up and demand to do 'bag checks' of everyone entering a downtown station but lol, the stations are all to close, we all just walk to the next station. Fuck you not-cop.

Supposedly, SUPPOSEDLY, there's some funky agreements between the city and the T about some parks that align the tracks. The T has to maintain them or some shit, so the T-police have to show up when something happens at those parks. It's weird.

Also. Track bridges. Sigh. The road below the bridge is joint property, so if something happens below the bridge T police has to show up. A car hits the bridge? T-police. Homeless people under there? T-police. Paint dicks to try and get the sidewalk fixed cause the T, city and DCR won't take ownership? T-police.

Lol well the police are funded and dude still got pushed on the tracks. Screw the police they did nothing to help.

If you have enough time to do so, you can run your car for about 15 or so minutes with the heat on full blast. It will warm the roof up enough to loosen up the ice so that you should be able to fully dislodge it.

I leased a car from a NH dealer during the pandemic (2020) and it took 12 days to get my MA registration.

Commuting options are going to add time but might cut stress. If you're ok with that tradeoff, there are a number of bus options (PVTA, Peter Pan, Greyhound) out of Worcester Union Station which you can get to from Framingham via commuter rail. Unfortunately times don't sync up well most of the time.

If you're ok with driving, but would prefer a less stressful commute, the other two options are

- Find a car pool. This can be tricky, but there are a lot more east/west commuters (and west/east) than you would think.

- See if you can shift your hours. I have a longer commute, but I can make the trip in ~90 minutes since I've got shifted hours and am not dealing with traffic most of the time.

That sums it up well. The brew operation set up looked unnecessarily large to boot.

I Got you!
