I read through this proposal, currently they're planning to designate 36 one-bedroom units (out of 364 total units) as affordable. Their current projected monthly rent for the affordable units is $1,243. This is likely subject to change based on the 60% area median income (AMI) threshold once it gets built. As written, the affordability would only last as long as the tax incentive (15 years). After that they would go up to market rate pricing.

I've heard this a few times. We are headed to Ireland later this year and so many people have mentioned HAVING to go to the Guinness Storehouse for a pint; and that the taste is completely different from what is poured here in the States

Why the he'll would anyone want to go to an American High School? They're basically prisons for teenagers.

Parking not included.

But you get a pool table with no balls in the “resident lounge” and photo copier that doesn’t work in the complimentary “business center”

It doesn't travel well, that's true.

Yeah seriously. I guarantee these two bedrooms wouldn't go any lower than $2200.

I may have to broaden my horizons and try some craft beers, as long as the hops aren’t too overwhelming. The last one I tried I could practically chew it. Was not a fan.

A must for the Irishman. It is in their blood to scout out the Irish pub no matter where in the world they are. Got into a massive fight with my ex-husband in Portugal because instead of going out and exploring he wanted to spend all day in the Irish pub watching Irish sports. So, sounds like we’ll be checking this place out!

That you can't conceive of people commenting without wanting something in return, like a pat on the back.

I'd say this shouldn't be hard, but you've demonstrated that you find a lot of basic skills pretty difficult.

There are some great craft beers in Worcester that are not IPAs. Redemption Rock has quite a few options. Penny Pinchers in Millbury is a hidden gem with some interesting flavors.

You’re right, I think they are 3.50 at both Steel&Wire and Ralph’s. I lived in Boston for 11 years (but born in Woo) and I remember having sticker shock when I moved back to Worcester recently, cause you can barely get a Gansett for $4 anywhere in Boston.

"affordable"

Gennessee! Bringing back the college memories. That and some Natty Boh.

Try the Galway Pub. Irish owned

Haha- thanks for the tip. I’ll keep that in mind.

I believe 'Gansett at Ralphs is also $3, yeah. Maybe $3.50.

Gennessee is like a buck fifty though.

> Your partner thinks Guinness loses its quality on the voyage to the States so chooses Yuengling as it's replacement?

Honestly seems normal to me. My beer taste is either good high quality craft shit or Miller High Life. Good or shit. There's no in between.

No way, nothing like a good shower beer. If you catch him with one in the shower leave him be, he's just enjoying himself!

That's if you're going for a high-end craft brew. That's the very high end of the range. A high alcohol content New England IPA from a craft brewery can run you $9 at some places. You'd be plastered if you drink more than three of them anyway.
You can find regular pints of mass produced beer (Guinness included) for a lot less - probably around $4-$6 depending on where you go.

West Springfield is big. There’s a large Russian community there. In Springfield there’s a large Afghanistani and Puerto Rican community. The affluent area in western MA is Longmeadow/East Longmeadow/Agawam.

Someone being honest with how fucked the place has gotten 🙃

> (check out Hotel Vernon for the cheaper end)

it's cheap for a bunch of reasons lol

> Everyone has different reasons for moving of course, but try to be a little more analytical

Wow. Just..... wow.

The OP is asking about the price of beer, mentioned that Worcester is on their short list for moving to, and you coming back with this judgemental, unsolicited opinion to an internet stranger is just a whole new level of wtf.

Who are you to tell anyone that one of the most major life changes they can do is a mistake?

Thanks! $9 for a pint of beer is disappointing to hear. That’s worse than Dublin which is a total rip-off place.

My son would love that, but I don’t like Florida at all. I want/need to be in this area to be near enough to my mother (she lives in NW corner of Connecticut on MA border).
