This was definitely the work of a little old Polish or Italian lady in Chicago. The houses are a dead give away (and the Illinois plates).

they don't care if the kids get sick, they're worried about the teachers because they don't have the coverage. and honestly this was a problem before covid.

You think that's bad? I've had people in the rotary try to enter my approach...
when my car is right up against the yield line. There are Do Not Enter signs....

Went through a fire. If the house was habitable, that is the end of your lease. They have to provide you the pro-rated rent for the remainder.

Reply to Best bar to visit solo? by boxyfox123
I've had 2 great experiences as a solo bar-goer at Wu Song Road Tiki Bar. I unfortunately forget his name, but the bar tender I had both times was super fun and took some time to chat. I did go during less busy times in fairness, though

Housing is a human right.
There are more people than there were fifty years ago.
There are more people living in Boston than there were 50 years ago.
We've been adding jobs faster than we've been adding homes for several decades now.
If we don't increase the number of homes, people with more money will outbid people with less money for the homes.
Your choices are "keep the buildings the same and have skyrocketing prices, homelessness and displacement" vs "build more homes and have density, so there's homes for everyone."
Keeping your neighborhood the way it used to be is not an option. Nostalgia is lovely but is absolutely poisonous as a housing policy.

She did not, essentially we were told to figure our shit out ourselves. The Red Cross gave us a bit of money, bless them, but it only would have been for a few days. The lease doesn't say much about fire, only that the landlord has the right to terminate the lease in the event of a fire. She terminated it a few days after the fire- around June 20th.

Buy Boston real estate if you possibly can and enjoy as you get rich. Seems too good to be true, but it really is that simple. You have an horde of NIMBYs who will ensure that meaningful housing supply is strangled

Unpleasant... And - Unsafe...!!! Don't stop, suddenly, when you've got the right-of-way to wave in someone from a Stop Sign. You could get rear ended or worse. It's not being polite or nice... That's being dangerous.

She mentioned she would work with the insurance to try to get us that money back, but so far it seems like it hasn't been going anywhere. I understand her concern with the property being burned but I was also not having a lovely time over the summer with no permanent living situation

Wow, that’s one disingenuous way to spin the situation. But that’s business as usual for progressives these days.
