Why don't they just disband their unionized fire department and make it volunteer. I know that's what they do in Long Island. Seems to work well for the rich towns there.

They reseed/replant your lawn after digging it up. I used to be a gas laborer for National Grid, installing natural gas pipes in the ground. Whenever we excavated someone's lawn, to install/replace a pipe, we were legally required to replace it back to the way it was before we dug it up. There might be a cable or something in the ground that needs to be replaced rather than installed.

I agree, which is what I'm going to double check on Monday. But as I've already stated in this thread when I bought the property I did an audit and there were no easements attached and I have not agreed to any since. But I'm going to ask specifically for utility easements. At the moment to the best of my knowledge there are none.

The fact that you brought up race says enough

Caveat: a lot of the ones marked "accepting new patients" may not actually be. But it certainly helps you narrow down.

If they have an easement or similar legal instrument then it’s not without permission. That said, I do love once upon a time in the west

Student dental clinics:

For Waltham I recommend Dr Damien Meola Smile and Skin Aesthetics. They did all my dental work past year and I am working with them and ortho to do Invisalign. I was pretty scared of dentist before them so they have been really great about dealing with my anxiety and also getting my thru a bunch of things to go thru to get to Invisalign. They bring in an ortho for that which most dentist don’t know better to do, which I also appreciate, anyway, other option in Waltham for you! Good luck!

I thought that was an actual pic when I first scrolled by

My auburn hospital is overlooked. It’s a nice facility. The big hospitals are all backed up.

So you're ok with companies just doing work on private property without permission?

This is funny and should be higher

Easements (plus shovels)

Or just build more houses.

Or they are homeowners and realize how often this happens, in a highly populated and dense city? If you are really concerned, just contact an attorney or your local city councilor.

We've had Verizon since in bought in 2017. From what I understand Comcast needs to do work on the street to upgrade their coax to customers in the neighborhood. That's fine with me. They're using the crew that is already here to now force installation of fiber from the street to the house when there isn't any to make future customer acquisition easier. That's not fine with me. Everyone in this thread saying that Comcast is doing this out of the goodness of their heart is a fucking moron. They're doing it so they can try to sell me service. It's a loss leader.

I’m gonna disagree with the sentiment that you have to start shopping now. Apartments off the September cycle often only get listed 30-60 days in advance. That said July 1 is not a really popular moving date — it often coincides with the Independence Day holiday weekend, which is not a weekend people usually want to spend moving.

You might have better luck with June 1. Many students move out after the spring semester and sublet their apartment through Sept 1, often with an option to renew for a year on that date.

It appears you know you will def need roommates, which is good. I would look into Facebook groups (search: “Boston Roommates” and you’ll see a bunch of options).

Also, curious where you’ll be commuting to… Southie is kind of a pain in the but to get too and from in addition to being pretty expensive so I suspect you may have better options.

I recommend calling Harvard Vanguard / Atrius Health. Large network with plenty of PCPs taking new patients.

I told them "no" on the phone when we decided it would just be easier to switch to Verizon. They knocked on our door the next day anyway and said they were ready to go. I said "we don't even have Comcast."

Last I checked you can’t shoot a fire

The only legit replies I've seen are the ones pointing out the possibility of a utility easement. I need to find out if this is the case or not on Monday. Everyone else is clearly out of their mind if they think it is OK to just let any company onto private property to do whatever they want without permission. It's clear they're not homeowners and have no idea wtf they're talking about.

I found success finding a doctor on my health insurances website. You can filter by who is accepting new patients
