The new apartment building on the corner of Mass and Columbus is a good example of how you can maintain neighborhood character while building new housing. There are multiple brick low income housing buildings throughout the south end many 6 or so stories tall.

I don’t think glass towers belong, but that’s just aesthetic preference.

Dude I love lobster

My point is… if you add a few it’s essentially a tip to the kitchen because nobody tips them out ever… the added feee would hopefully deter the consumer from tipping more to the FOH and the BOH would get their slice of the pie.

Go ahead, eat at home and change your recipes. That’s your prerogative. But for those that eat out, they need to understand the circumstances of what the other half of their dinner deals with. It’s a shame that cooking is glorified and everyone gets in a tizzy when they have to pay a small fee for the BOH to get a little respect.

Saw this once at the Centre St/Arborway rotary years ago, the driver actually backing up made me almost lose it. It's a fun story to tell as an ice breaker for an awkward dude like me.

I live just off a rotary with five spokes and the shit I see every week. People stopping in the rotary, people failing to yield to people already in the rotary, people going the wrong way around...I am convinced humans are too stupid to be trusted driving cars.

of course it looks like that to you. You partisans have been conditioned to demonize anyone who doesn't vote the way you do.

>Progressives today are not like the ones in the past, the ones who actually cared about creating change and recognized the little wins in society. Today they just want to blow up the system and actively encourage anyone that's not a complete facist Republican to bring it all down with them.

You bet your ass we do. We just don't operate under the delusion that the system can be salvaged. The corruption is far too deep set in the system. Total dismantling is the only option to salvage anything and strive for meaningful change.

Fuck "little wins", thats the same bullshit moderates used to try and slow down the civil rights movement. Neoliberalism's trademark "better than nothing/the other thing" rhetoric doesn't fool us anymore; we're sick and tired of settling for scraps.

Sometimes you gotta stop watering the dead tree and rip it out so the soil can be pout to good use.

It will effect far more people than that.

One thing to remember… we should want those in charge of the government to be paid a competitive/market rate.

Way too much of our government is run by people who are already rich and powerful. If people aren’t paid well, then only those who are already rich, or those that will abuse the power they have to gain money, will take these jobs.

Our government is already biased way too much in favor of the rich, don’t let controlling the government be something only the rich can do.

Yeah, it pisses me off as well.

In one of the most expensive cities in the US, with some of the most expensive colleges in the US, everyone is going to college to make less money and is super ant-capitslist while the feed thr beast...lol.

Meanwhile Biden's biggest political donors are Dan Crenshaw's largest donors.

The Overton Window only slides left. Its all a joke and thr hypocrisy is endless.

Had this happen the other night - oncoming car was hanging out in a *left turn lane* and the car in front of me just stopped out of nowhere to let them turn. This was from like 30 MPH. Unbelievable.

This was an interesting video, but it’s kinda light on data and heavy on opinion Do you know if there’s any good written content related to housing that makes similar points but with more data?

What’s your point about boh fees? I will say I’ve found ways in my personal cooking to save money. Changing a recipe or eating other foods.

This sub has so many negative stories about the T then everyone say more people need to ride the T. It doesnt matter how much money you throw at it it wont change the people on it

Not sure the downvotes. The police said it themselves!

Do you know how much cost of food has gone up since Covid?! 10%-20% higher than before… this means that your $17 dollar dish (which cost around $5 at a 30% cost) is now $20-$22… doesn’t seem like much but those 3-5 dollars steer people away. Not only that but, the cost of rent, electricity, gas, insurance, operating fees, and upkeep are all going through the roof.

So, if you took the 30% cost of the $20 dish (which IMO is high) you spend $6 on food… leaving you with $14 which if you divided it evenly (which isn’t the case) you have roughly $2 per dish sold to cover each expense including wages…

So tell me that the system is flawed without getting upset over pricing… you can’t and wont.

People who think they can jump the green light and turn left ahead of oncoming traffic at a light drive me nuts. It’s cold comfort that if I were to smash into them they’d be at fault.

Totally disagree with small dogs in any public places because they’re always mad aggressive towards my dog. I have a black lab and I’d love more coffee shops that allowed her because honestly all she wants is to be pet by people. She’s so friendly
