Reply to State legal aid agency seeks more oversight when DCF removes children from homes without court order—I had no idea, DCF doesn't really ever need to get a court order to remove children from homes by dazzlingupstairz
The last agency still allowed to do this after Waco

It looks like one of the fake plates used in movies or tv shows.

Chicken and egg. If you always make it a requirement to "have everything ready at once", you'll never get anywhere. No single policy or law is going to get it all done at once.
Same argument could be said about parking.
"Why do we need more parking at the commuter rail station? It's not fully most days already?"
You have to start somewhere and then work on the other pieces. The housing/zoning law is a start. I'm all for legislation/policy that makes the MBTA more effective across the network. Let's see it! Is there anything in the works now?

Reply to Looking into moving to Mass. Would love to hear about the good, the bad, the ugly of living in your wonderful state! by InspectorFun1699
South Hadley, Granby, Hadley, Holyoke (there's good areas) ...pretty much Western Mass because it's less expensive than the rest of Mass but you can find really good deals anywhere in this state. The people, for the most part, are nice. You will come across some unsavory folks, but I think you'll encounter that anywhere go.

They are probably from out of state and don’t want to end up like Ben.

Jesus Fucking Christ! (Yes I think the situation calls for it to be spelled all the way out)
They’re lucky nobody has come in there with a gun saying shit like you got 20 minutes or they’re in foster care! I don’t even have kids and the empathetic shiver that just went down my spine was insane. Very sorry you went through that. How can they even say they care about the kids when they do that?

That’s a plate is a prop used in television/films where you want the car to clearly look like it’s from Mass.
Maybe it was used in CODA?

Oh the base idea is smart, I'm just hung up on the unreliability of the MBTA and the lack of any parking infrastructure in the NIMBY towns that actually host commuter rail stops.
Like the point of adding these denser zones seems to be to enable shorter commutes, but if the closest commuter rail station doesn't have enough parking to make commuting to it viable for those who live too far to walk or bike, all this does is increase the number of cars heading into the city.
​
tldr; higher density requirements good, but need to mandate infrastructure improvements to support increased density first

I don’t want to sound cynical, but….
It’s an obvious fake, and so it’s definitely been seen and ignored by multiple cops.

Reply to comment by AllstarGaming617 in Driver Retraining Program 3 times for license reinstatement after 15 years of incompetence? by AllstarGaming617
FYI this course is garbage. I got 3 speeding tickets in a certain time so i had to automaticallly take this…Lowell connector is just one speed trap. It’s eight hours of the most basic shit ever, and beware to be appalled by your classmates. 90% of my class had multiple DUIs and hadn’t driven in like 10-15 years it was a joke.

We don't demand enough of our law enforcement officers. It's is waaaay too easy to be a cop and virtually impossible to lose the job. It is the easiest path to a six figure salary.
