This could also easily be: “people who miss their turn or exit- do you realize the next one will also get you to the same destination?”

Reply to comment by Dontleave in Masks will be asked and expected at BPS for 8 school days but won’t be made mandatory. by lucifer0915
It's exhausting after thanksgiving my kids school just said it was "recommended" but not many wore them and half the class got sick. I find it so weird that peanuts are not allowed because it could kill a kid but the school is just fine with putting other kids health at risk and okay with them getting sick over and over again. After a break where kids are traveling and hanging out with lots of people it makes total sense to make masks mandatory for at least a little bit.

Possible sign improvements:
remove "runs": Cumming runs on Dunkin
remove "runs on" and add "donuts coffee": Cumming Dunkin Donuts cofee

A completely unnecessary SUV, dented, with a “Proud Parent of a BLS Scholar” bumper sticker.

Glad I live in the burbs. My kid doesn’t need to be masked up just to drool all over it and bring home viruses anyway.

Reply to This fight near Shawmut Station doesn’t bode well for easing Boston’s housing shortage - The Boston Globe by soxandpatriots1
I can’t believe tearing down an unused auto body shop on top of a T station and replacing it with housing will destroy character…
The neighbors want to preserve a “pedestrian friendly environment” by… vehemently opposing high density housing? Things need to look “more home like”- because single family homes are the only type of home…
That’s a damn high parking ratio for being- again- directly on top of a heavy rail station, and people are still complaining about parking??

Also Alewife Brook Parkway x Concord Ave with its two rotaries and one road that sees heavy use.

This subreddit skews young—a lot of non parents who don’t understand what it’s like to mask your young children who bring home every virus despite said mask while they’re trying to learn essential diction and social cues.

Accidental discharge yes, but the police have released a photo of a person of interest, which suggests that she wasn't the accidental discharger.

Reply to comment by [deleted] in Top state officials, including governor, set to receive a 20 percent pay hike, the largest in years by SomethingDrastic
Mine isn’t under contract and negotiations have basically been unproductive since September. We’re working on the old contract for the past 1.5 years.

If you have a source for that percentage, I really would like to see it, because I disagree with your statement.
If we’re only talking about union employees, for them to not get a step increase, they need to be at the top step of the CBA grid. The average grid has between 9-11 steps, so let’s just go with 10. Since all new union employees start at step 1, it takes 9 full years for them to reach the top step, 10 full years before they wouldn’t get a new step.
I don’t know the exact percentage, but I’d be willing to bet that 90% of state employees within a union have not been with the state for 10 years or longer.

Half of your posts are about traffic in NH. Go move to your perfect utopia there if you think someone should move and if you hate the idea of more people moving into your neighborhood, practice what you preach and leave.

When you buy your house you get no covenants, no promises that your neighbors will change, that their houses wont change. It’s rights to that one property, it’s not rights to influence what your neighbors do and make demands of them.
Safe neighbors, walkability, outdoor space, arent contra more housing, they aren’t contra apartment buildings.
Quite literally people do want to live in these ‘congested’ areas. That’s why there is demand for housing in them. Hell 20-30 years ago and before dorchester was considered a congested area compared to the suburbs. There is a damn mass transit station across the street.
NIMBY is ‘not in my back yard’ its someone who thinks their property, their yard, extends to their neighbors, and down their street. It’s someone who thinks they have a right to dictate to others what they can do with their own property simply by having been in the general area first. By preventing these condos/apts they are preventing families from safe shelter, people from moving out in their own for the first time, from downsizing in old age to housing they can manage.

That's why I like the Wakefield rotary. The lanes spiral outwards, so it's impossible to camp in the outer lane.
