No one in the inner lane should need to exit. You get into the outer lane to exit.

I mean on the topic of this thread, it is true that there are issues with not enough housing and that zoning is often a problem

I’d like to be able to share some data when people I know oppose nearby housing projects

Obviously a video like this isn’t convincing if it just talks about like two examples

Let me just start by saying I don’t vote because I’ve accepted we live in an oligarchy and both parties are set on keeping it that way. I’m just speaking strictly on the cost of housing. The most expensive places to rent are mostly in Democratic areas. You’re right about the good things about those areas. That being said, the solution to make it affordable so more people can make a go at having a great life is to build more housing. My point is: the Republicans say “pull up your bootstraps”, the Democrats say “not in my backyard”. It’s two sides of the same coin when it comes down to it.

This is so sweet but I think you’ve just had good luck cuz the rest of us are still waiting to turn left

There are a ton of jeeps! I really don’t understand.

Steriti rink north end of you don’t mind a million foreign college kids who can’t skate either clinging to the boards or bumbling around going the wrong directions. I love it anyway. Freeeeeeeee if you have your own skates.

The BU bridge and the rotary right next to it have easily taken 10+ years off my life. I’m so grateful I don’t have to go that way anymore

And that's why Fred the baker was let go.

Mayor Wu is truly a wizard at empowering misery. 👊

Except when you choose not to use an umbrella, you’re not also putting other people at risk of getting soaked.

Did we collect too much tax or did we spend too little? Potato - potatoe

The Healey administration is going to be under a lot of pressure to increase spending, something Governor Baker chose not to do

Would you be in favor of process reforms where these compromises can be reached earlier in the development process, as suggested in the article linked in this post?

I think people should have equity in the neighborhoods they live in, putting policies in place based on the premise that public input is bad, "Acutally," sounds dystopian. Just opening the door for developers to pave entire neighborhoods. Things can be done more thoughtfully and with better outcomes. Like compromise solutions that don't just put 100 unit glass towers in the middle of a quiet 2-lane road.

Check out your rta and road accident mortality rate vs countries with a proper driving test. USA 12.4 deaths per 100,000 people. UK 2.9. In the UK you have to take a 1 hour test that includes rotaries, multi lane highways, complex junctions with poor visibility. Any meaningful mistake and you fail. I’ve taken and passed the test in both countries I am very aware which one actually tests whether you can drive properly.

This would sound reasonable if not for the fact that there’s always someone willing to stonewall progress on ANY change to the status quo, and Boston NIMBY’s have a decades-long history of doing exactly that. The process is roughly: demand something you know is infeasible, promise that you’re only asking for small, reasonable things, then move the goalposts until the project is abandoned, all the while asking why people are so unwilling to compromise

For elaboration, check out “Public Input is Bad, Actually” in The Atlantic

You might happen to be able to drive but the tests you take do not establish that. Anyone could pass the test. Therefore some people can drive, some just know how to go around the block and parallel park.

Get a good personal trainer

Idling in the crosswalk while owner fucks around

And keep it running and not on fire 🔥

The residents pushed back against a 100-unit building and are asking for a compromise 27-unit building, since everything around it is beautiful old Victorians and the 100-unit building would be totally out of place. It's reasonable, you shouldn't misrepresent the argument for the sake of updoots.

Larz Anderson Rink is really cool. Under $40 for a family of four and two rentals. Little spot outside the boards for kids to push things around. Had a blast.

I thought it was bad until I spent time in Florida. They can't seem to figure them out at all
