That's not the problem. It's getting it from the stores to the hungry people. Someone has to organize and staff the charities accepting the food. If there aren't enough people to do that for all the food being given away, food will have nowhere to go

I finally signed up for the monthly T pass (so it renews itself every month instead of my having to buy at kiosk) and am now gearing up for being super anxious about losing the card for the rest of my life... I have registered it on the T site, but I am a human who loses charlie cards constantly so I'm hoping you savvy people have some creative & efficient methods.
SO
T-takers, how do you stash your T passes so they're a) easy to pull out and tap and b) don't get lost?

or not live in Boston. I lived in Boston and wanted to pay less rent, so moved further out. Further out, less rent.

Would it be illegal to do legal work in an illegal apartment? 🤔

Definitely. He'd be making a little less than me since he'd be going back to college---so either financial aid stipend or a part-time job---but we would be double-income.
The thread is a bit of a train-wreck but it confirmed some of my thoughts that I'll probably get by being satisfied with less---some people want a lot of extra disposable income but for me who doesn't drink or go out and prefers the free things the city has to offer (parks, museums, etc.) I think I'll be alright at least for a couple of years or until I go to grad school

People browse and shop in them like regular stores. It's not just pickup and go.

That thread is a train wreck. Will your partner be relocating with you, and if so, will your partner be working? Living is easier if you can rent a one bedroom apartment with two incomes.

I would guess when you are hungry you will eat what you are given.

Where, in the post I replied to, did you say anything about any owner occupied buildings other than 2 unit buildings? You literally only talk about exactly 2 units. I was just saying the part you left unsaid. And I certainly wasn't trying to correct you.
But thanks for taking the opportunity to be an asshole to someone. Making the internet better one comment at a time...

Gainesville tried to legalize infill construction and DeSantis overruled them. Normally he's in favor of property rights but not if a liberal city council does it and especially not when their motivation is affordability or inclusion.

No, I’m not talking about squatters I’m talking about people who seem like they’re legitimate tenants. And then they find a small defect in the apartments, they call inspectional services, they withhold rents. They make life miserable for the landlord. Think Pacific Heights, not that extreme but you get the general idea.
Once the landlord gets rid of them, they just move onto the next property.

Before "requiring" stores and restaurants to do this, how about instituting a program to make it easier for stores and restaurants to donate food at no cost/effort?

The really sad part is that my roommate and I are headed to the Tampa Bay area for good on on 4/3 (she's got family there), and we can't find anywhere two middle-aged min-wage workers can afford either. We're crashing someone's living room until we can. I wonder how long we can hold out...
