That’s the thing. I would love to use public transit and bike everywhere. But I can’t afford cambridge/Somerville so ended up in Quincy where biking sucks. Public transit exists but red line is always fucked. So we end up driving more than we want. Can’t blame people for driving. It’s probably mostly rich people who don’t need a car for work, though admittedly I don’t have any stats on that. Houses near the T are expensive, and housing near good bike infrastructure is also expensive.

Is anyone going to Utopia in Seaport? Do you think it’ll be worth the $35/day? Is it like an entry-payment-required version of Boston Public Market or is more included in your ticket compared to just walking around?

73 degrees?! Turn the temp down. Throw a sweatshirt and socks on
My house is 2200 SQ ft with 2 central air units. I keep the temp at 66 degrees. Electric was 160 and gas was 180 last month

Have you considered offing some additional family members to rake in more inheritance money?

Bought a condo (converted 4 unit apartment building, nothing remotely fancy) in 2019 after scraping together a down payment. Unit next to mine sold to a boomer couple, who live on the cape, for their late-20s kids to live in. I got in a fight with the mom because she kept calling the building an investment... I had to repeatedly say "This is my home, I live here" to convince her I was much more invested in its upkeep than she would ever be. The "housing as investment" people can get fucked. Housing is a human right and they are the problem.

i had originally looked at the forecast by my work which is further north and it was saying 6 inches friday and another inch saturday.

Reply to Don’t ride your scooter on sidewalk by jamesishere
I don’t have a problem with scooters if they yield to pedestrians. Some people who use them seem to have a very strong disconnect with how dangerous scooters can be. Especially at speed. Still better than them getting behind the wheel of a car though.

Haha I chuckled at this, it is indeed true. I keep mine at 65 and "jack it" to 66 when my wife gets a chill. Sweatshirt and blankets work well and are much cheaper.
