I find that price tag highly suspicious. No way are you going to find a decent apartment on Beacon Street for that cheap!

Maybe that’s why they don’t want to rent to a lawyer or law student…

If it snows at the end of March, we will all be fucked I tell you.

Here is your solution.

Salem/ Lexington and concord almost certainly require a car. Freedom trail, library and such can very easily be accomplished by walking/ train. Boston is more walkable than a lot of US that I’ve seen.

Late March is usually pretty tame for snow, we have for sure seen snow that late in the season but it’s rare. I would bring a decent jacket for sure, cold wind here can be crazy. Have fun!

If there's an open DCF case for Patrick where DCF took custody of the kids, your husband may be able to be appointed an attorney in MA (if you financially qualify which you probably would being on medicaid). If he knows which DCF office has the case, he can call and they can open him as a part of their case. If he does get an attorney appointed, they can help him file a paternity action in the juvenile court and waive the fees.

If DCF does have custody, your living out of state might make things more complicated. When a child welfare agency is involved with a child, a home study normally has to be done to send a child out of state, even with a parent. It's under a federal law called the Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children (ICPC). He can qualify for a faster version of that ICPC home study if the child is under 4 or under some other circumstances.

Elliot Davis should probably invest in some better tampons then

You just have to tap it on a networked reader like the subway gates (but not the readers on the trains or busses)

Boston's nearly four centuries of history are showcased by the city's must-see sites.Start your city tour on the Freedom Trail,which will lead you to landmarks like the Paul Revere House and Boston Common.Or, discover Beantown's artsy side at the Museum of Fine Arts and its fashion sense along Newbury Street.If you're a fan of baseball, you can't miss catching a game at Fenway Park, home to the beloved Red Sox. Though blowing through your travel fund is an easy thing to do in Boston, there are also plenty of things to do that won't cost you a penny; the lovely Boston Public Garden and the lively Faneuil Hall Marketplace can be experienced without opening your wallet.Four buildings – Faneuil Hall, Quincy Market, North Market and South Market – constitute Faneuil Hall Marketplace, with the oldest being Faneuil Hall. Built in 1742 and now located on the Freedom Trail, Faneuil Hall has had a long and important history in Massachusetts politics.Samuel Adams once stood here to push for resistance against the British, and abolitionists and suffragists have stood on their soapboxes here.In fact, this is where Jonathan Mayhew famously challenged the Sugar Act of 1764 by proclaiming, no taxation without representation. Since Mayhew's declaration, the marketplace has expanded to include more than 100 shops and restaurants.Some former visitors caution that the items sold at Faneuil Hall Marketplace are a bit overpriced.However, if you're looking to kill some time or snap some great photos, consider strolling through the market's halls.You'll also find various cuisines served in Quincy Market if you're in need of a quick bite.Keep in mind that this market gets crowded quickly (especially on weekends and in the summer), so it's best to visit during a weekday if you don't want to encounter hordes of people.The marketplace welcomes visitors Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. and on Sundays between noon and 6 p.m. (Restaurant and store hours may vary, so it's best to consult Faneuil Hall Marketplace's website before you visit.)

No fees apply to enter any of Faneuil Hall Marketplace's buildings, and free tours and performances are occasionally provided in South Market and outside Faneuil Hall. After Isabella Stewart Gardner's husband died in 1898, the art enthusiast bought land in Boston's Fenway area to open a museum to display her impressive collection of Italian art. The museum, which was fashioned after the Palazzo Barbaro in Venice, was completed in 1902, at which point Gardner moved in to the fourth floor and began installing her collection. Today, you can visit this Boston museum to get your fill of the Italian masters, such as Raphael and Titian. The building also showcases a cache of beautiful furniture, photographs, sculpture and rare books straight from Europe. In 2012, the museum unveiled a new wing designed by acclaimed Italian architect Renzo Piano. The most recent addition includes a glass atrium, greenhouses and landscaped gardens.Recent museumgoers said the collection captures Gardner's penchant for art, architecture and horticulture through its diverse displays. Though some previous visitors described the museum as a bit of a hodgepodge rather than a cohesive layout, many praised the property's vast collection of artifacts and intimate atmosphere.

After a few years, overgrazing became a problem and the area was transformed into a British camp. After the Revolutionary War, the park became a popular locale for public speeches and rallies. Now, the Common is best known because of its status as the oldest public park in the country. You'll also find a variety of activities and events, including theater and musical performances, hosted here throughout the year.Though some visitors said you won't find much to do in this park, Boston Common is great for picnics or a leisurely stroll.

You can also park for a fee in the underground parking garage or on the surrounding streets. The area is free to visit, but additional charges apply for food purchased at Frog Pond Café, rides on the carousel and ice skating on Frog Pond. Public restrooms are available, and in the summer, free yoga classes are offered by Frog Pond.

Or the commuter rail /s

p sure they mean just less efficient with money vs gas heat

73 degrees? That's insanity!

Surprised you bill wasn't $1,000 last month.

I kid you not… MBTA ads. Those ads really have the best smart and creating things to do around Boston. Some of it is “participate in this medical study” or “send you kid to this school” but other ads are about the Lego art exhibit or the $10 unlimited commuter rail pass or Harvard art museums.

As a landlord I would rent to a lawyer…not a law student

Whoa what's your commute?

Also, did you type this post while in gridlock traffic? If so, that's awesome.

I would love to take the commuter rail and the T. But the commuter rail is more expensive than driving my car and parking. And the T is a fucking shit show. The best case scenario of taking public transit for me (and I am lucky enough to live near the commuter rail) is 90 minutes, and involves three trains, because for some fucking reason there is no direct bus from North Station to Kendall fucking Square.

I pay about half the cost of a monthly commuter rail pass to park at my building, and I drive an EV and can charge at my office for free, and even when traffic is fucking awful it takes me less time. I also carpool, so my cost for parking is halved.

we are all traffic on this blessed cursed day

My partner and I once had a landlord ask if we were married and wouldn’t rent to unmarried couples

Man my system must have horrible circulation. It's noticeably colder upstairs in the winter, and the thermostat is like a third of the way up the stairs.

Damn.

Than 30? Absolutely.

You heard wrong, though everyone seems to say it around here. Massachusetts is much more landlord friendly than the rest of New England, though less so than the south.

And then I woke up

and not for the better in most ways

No it doesnt, it’s mid in terms of the bias, and much more landlord friendly than the rest of New England. That’s just something people say assuming Massachusetts’s liberal reputation without knowing how the laws vary.
