Reply to Former Worcester man awarded $8M after jury finds police fabricated evidence to convict him by HRJafael

This city certainly has found its niche - it absolutely excels at losing millions in lawsuits.

Off the top of my head -

Holden sewer dispute - $14 million (2022 - lost bc city didn’t follow existing agreement w/Holden)

Sky bridge suit - $12.5 million (settlement 2018, lost bc city didn’t abide their promise to build the bridge from major Taylor garage to Hilton Garden inn)

Public records suit - $100k (2022, city got reamed by the judge for illegally withholding police records)

Various police misconduct suits - at least $12 million since 2010 (including this case, there are still several pending cases)

At least $38.5 million since 2018, much of it was probably avoidable if the city solicitors were doing their job and properly advising the city of its obligations.

I live close to WPI and Highland street always seemed pretty lively to me, but there’s definitely more downtown. You’re going to have a hard time finding a place that allows dogs though. With that budget your best bet is the Grid or 145 Front street at city square. It won’t be cheap but I haven’t seen many other places that are ok with dogs.

Probably downtown or the Canal District. Are you looking for a condo/apartment?

You can find a cool little loft space or a newer/renovated building in these places. If the WPI area is not lively enough, I don't see any other areas that will fit your needs.
