If a lawyer is suing you, even if you win, you lose.

Judging by a couple of apartments I saw last year, we'll not only color over the walls in crayons and tear up the yard we'll do even worse.

Staties own the airport. It’s their slush fund.

There isn’t a residency requirement for BPS employees. They’d never be able to hire anyone, can’t even rent a studio on those salaries.

They seem to have found light hearted short stories to keep their mind off things!

With how the system is run, and how messed up the current state is, it'd feel kind of wrong for the rest of the state to have to bear the burden of pumping more money into it for no real benefit to them. If a working train system is something Boston wants, then Boston is going to have to figure it out. Right now the city is being strangled and tripped up from within.

The East Boston waterfront is a really pleasant walk, from Lopresti Park to the Airport ferry terminal area.

I don’t see that exception in the state’s description.
There only exception I read is touching to enable hands-free.
It reads like the GPS “activation” must be done without touching.
Touching for apps is right out.

She's literally making changes to help reduce income inequality. She's doing what people want, she just isn't doing the press tour along with it.

It’s not the snow itself, it’s when it’s falling. The area around is closing because people drive and it’s supposed to be coming down from like 7-10am. BPS has at least some semblance of public transit to get people to school.

It gets worse when half green and silver line stops don’t actually need machines and nearly every bus stop had no machine.

I lived in a 1-bed on Kirkland st in Cambridge with a no lawyer policy. The building had a live in super who was pretty annoying. He 100% didn’t want tenants who knew their rights. He took a liking to me but if he didn’t like you it was a much different experience

I saw a graphic of estimated snow amount by 7am, with Boston at 2”. Seems very reasonable to be open
