Tu y Yo near Tufts is fantastic

I kick myself for this foolish mistake every day.

We don’t have a democracy when the two ruling parties only serve wall st, insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies, the military industrial complex and special interests. I’ve just accepted it and have stopped pretending my vote matters and these politicians are actually going to do something for the common good.

I had a cousin from Europe who lived with my family for a year in the US and on his list of things to do that year was get a drivers license because it was significantly easier and less expensive to get a license in the US and covert it over to his home country instead of passing the test there.

Our drivers education is a joke here and it’s one of the reasons our roads are so unsafe.

You don't get to pick where other people live. You don't get to limit the population. You can't prohibit people from doing work and getting paid for it in the name of keeping your hometown from changing.

China's hukou system, which requires permits for rural people to move to cities, is a dystopian nightmare and it doesn't even stop people from moving to cities illegally.

Lol there is a Wikipedia for a "Pittsburgh/Boston Left" describing an informal right of way. Its one thing if someone pitties you and waves ya through but I hate it when people just fucking go for it.

Is this out in Cummington? Can't imagine a dunkin out there though.

Ehh, so round abouts sure you can go around maybe 3 -4 times if you're captain sense of direction, though I'm not sure if forever is technically legal in MA. It might be a form of obstructing even if you're in perpetual motion 🤔, also people who stop should have to go through a more advanced driver's education.

To get a license here it's not hard at all, and that's kinda the issue. In Finland it's fairly strict our drivers licenses is maybe a permit, theirs is like having a class A here. Also 2 weeks on a skid road as their winters are just about the same horrible stuff as here. And anyone who can reach the pedals is old enough to drive. So it's taken more seriously. We could learn a thing or many from them.

A lawn chair.

>So I can wrench on them and take them on fun drives/ errands that are more convenient by car.

r/boston's idea of fun is taking a ride on the GLX

I wonder why they didn’t go with the traditional MEFFA

I actually saw someone go in reverse at the rotary near the airport in Hyannis.

Maybe the Fours or Townsend in Quincy.

Unless the exits are also 2 lanes, it’s just not safe to exit from the inside

Edit: even then, it’s still not always safe

Your mom is always open.

I find that the super pro mask crowd always pushes hard when they are usually the least inconvenienced by wearing the masks or only have to wear them a few minutes at a time.

Aren't the terms synonymous?

Funkybeatzzz theory is more correct, I think. There are many, many rotaries explicitly marked contrary to your idea.

I grew up here though this shouldn't matter. You don't need a lifetime of living here to recognize "character of the neighborhood".

If your statement is "I don't want Boston to become Manhattan", I think most wouldn't disagree with that. The downvotes reflects not a desire to turn Boston into Manhattan, but to try to stop Boston from becoming San Francisco***.

I'm seeing more and more people in my life moving out to stupidly far locations out of Boston. I bet you would just say they are just "reaching that phase of life", but that ignores my friend's words that a lot would pick something closer - if they can afford it. The only people in my life who been avoiding that so far are people-living-with-their-parents or techies - and even some of the techies moving out

What good is "preserving the neighborhood" if the people you know and care about can't afford to stay in the neighborhood?

And that's the thing with your argument. Regardless of what your claims, the results mean you're advocating to become SF. A city where the 6-figure income techies only really afford apartments reminiscent to your college years and a constantly-under-siege class of essential workers essentially winning the lottery through one of the affordable housing programs.

***It is notable that latest news that Boston has surpassed SF in rent prices. But what the news haven't cover as much is SF's rent prices has been decreasing lately rather than we finally catch up.

Do you have moments of clarity where you gain self-awareness or is it just obliviousness all the way down

VFW Parkway rotary in West Roxbury has one too. We were in the car and it was red and we had to stop IN the rotary. It felt wrong. Like we were exposed. I’m like who the hell did this. It’s so stupid.
