Lol we had to pour a new foundation in many spots in our house and it still cost us over $300k 🫠 anyone who thinks it’s easy to buy a house right now is insane.

Bro, you sound racist.

Pete's (Frates) Park in Beverly is also brand new(2019) and pretty nice. Somewhere in Ipswich there is a pirate ship playground.

And Endicott Park in Danvers has a playground and a working barn with goats, pigs, horses, cows, rabbits and chickens. And it's free in weekdays.

I didn't even think about this. Wow... just wow. What a fucking clown that person was. I wonder what's going through their mind right now.

Would never live on Loring Ave with pets or kids, too busy.

Requiring high percentages of affordable units in an inclusionary zoning policy, or a 40B development is a recipe for making them uneconomical for developers (this is why there are limits on this in the MBTA law).

Edit: I think they've also considered certain types of protected land in the worksheet and GIS layers they put out to assist local governments to determine zoning that works:

I don’t know why these posts keep happening. This is 1/8th of an acre of land in Braintree. If you want to buy a house that isn’t currently on fire for 25 grand, move to fucking Arkansas, you can probably hire some children to replace the roof for you

Made of reclaimed wood?

I read his personal thoughts posts when I first got banned there were a lot around his birthday which seemed to be very close to my birthday. There were posts about how he liked to stay up for 24 hrs the day before his birth (which was preceding the day of the ban or pretty close to it). Multiple other posts he mentioned his insomnia. IF he was factual about his job, factual about how much time he spent on his job, with his post history he was online close to 18-20 hrs/ day essentially doing the same thing for work and not work. That's enough to make anyone's mental health tank let alone someone with insomnia. If he was on meds for insomnia, it's entirely possible his sense of reality was altered or very different from yours or mine. His more recent posts he was convinced that the first post he locked and banned everyone from was edited after he locked it. It wasn't. It was edited before he locked it to clarify with "the everyone's opinions welcome" but the tenor of the post was the same edited or not (in my POV). Had he been willing to have a discussion at that time instead of muting me (us) maybe he would have realized that it was possible he interpreted something wrong in his potentially sleep-deprived state. If he's factual about where he lives, he's fairly local to me and I low-key wonder if I'm going to hear something on the news because someone had a mental break.

I'll believe you when the tolls on the last 4 of I-90 go away or S&W is allowed to operate unmolested or when our veterans get their full pay instead of pennies on the dollar.

>I've seen some pretty ok homes (in nice neighborhoods) being torn down to build something custom for the owner.

I live in a neighborhood of 2-family homes. So many of them have been converted into massive single family McMansions. Not only are we not building enough but also we are demolishing what few multi family homes we Have.

Guy is a "fact checker" AKA he hates the truth and loves trying to suppress it (he can't though.)

His "mental illnesses" are self-inflicted for continuing on in his "good fight" against something that's impossible to defeat.

Yeah, I do not know if the large scale septic systems can support the required 15 units/acre. If they can that is one problem solved at the potential cost of creating others.

I have no problems with developers struggling to make a buck on their developments. I do not begrudge them anything, but it falls squarely in the realm of "not my problem" unless the state says otherwise. I do worry that the state might actually say it is our problem, but this is all something for lawyers to figure out. Law is complex, and they are the ones who can find the most likely answers.

But at the same time, though their mental issues aren’t their fault, it is their responsibility.

Gonna say that they also never worked where they said they did.

People like this tend to live in a fantasy and that’s what their power trip was all about

Theres a huge gap between "spreading out a little" and moving 100 miles away into a totally separate metro area. When my parents got priced out of Weymouth they could afford to move to Taunton, about 35 miles south of Boston. At the time (1990) you could get to Boston via Route 24 in under an hour. Now that drive is over two hours one way, not that it even matters because I can't afford Taunton prices even though I make 3x what my parents made at the time adjusted for inflation.

Getting priced out and moving further away from Boston isn't new. The problem is it's been going on for so long there's nowhere left to move to. In 20 years Springfield will be just as expensive as Boston and we will be telling our kids to quit complaining, move to Albany, and enjoy that 4 hour one-way commute.

Yeah, I guess those two thoughts do kind of go against each other. What I mean is that they don't really go to your neighbors spaces until it gets to a level 10 infestation. If they can't detect heat or Co2 from a relatively small radius around them they just go dormant instead of hunting for food like ants would. So, well, I didn't bring them into that apartment, it did originate from my room. If we didn't open up that wall to look for that source and see what was obvious signs of an old infestation than it could have been pinned on me.

That incident happened in RI, so I can only speak to their laws which stated that in a single family house its the responsibility of the person renting to take care of it, but when its a multi-family unit the onus is on the landlord to fix it. I lived in a single family, so it was on us to fix it, but I had a baller landlord who helped me out by purchasing all the supplies I needed.

But then I'd have to live west of 495.

Why not if they can afford it?

That's helpful for communities that have treatment plants but most rural communities don't have treatment plants and would have to add one. I'm not sure even with state aid most of those towns could justify building a treatment plant.

Here's some help getting up to speed. Two lists of links I made. The first has reveddit links. The second is normal links, totally forgot I made the first list lol.

There is Patton Park in Wenham with a real tank

Stage Fort Park Gloucester

Beverly Lynch Park, Dane St Beach

I've seen no mention of this, so I'll bring it up. Many communities will qualify for various sources of funding to increase/improve the size of their wastewater treatment facilities. The narrative that "this cost is bore by the community alone" is not entirely accurate.

The only time I've ever used my networking skills for something sketchy was to silence a downstairs neighbors' WiFi speakers.

Mimicked his SSID, marked his wireless router as a rogue, started spamming deauthorization frames, and left it on autopilot. Guy didn't have Internet for weeks.

Moral of the story is, fuck people who don't turn their music down.
