Reply to comment by LukeWarmCheesecake in New Orange Line subway cars pulled from service over safety concerns by Omphaloskeptique
I am not a fan of privatization, and don't understand why you think you get to interrogate me or my beliefs, nor why I need to lay out my entire political viewpoint for you.
I am also not the only one commenting that the MBTA has made numerous missteps in the procurement of new cars and yet you're only attacking me. Weird.

Romney could’ve updated the trains. Or Weld. It was left for Patrick to do, so he did. Do you have a point?

This sounds super weird, they really need to fix this. They also were not displaying the stops as well.

Reply to comment by SoMuchJamImToast in This fight near Shawmut Station doesn’t bode well for easing Boston’s housing shortage - The Boston Globe by soxandpatriots1
I’m in favor of process reforms that reduce obstacles to building, those obstacles being silly regulations and tons and tons of public input.
I do not think homeowners who want to pretend they live in the country should be able to prevent densification of in demand areas. If they want to only have single family homes in their neighborhood they should move somewhere where a lot doesn’t cost $1mil. People get to control their property. They should not get to control everyone else’s.
This is the way the country functioned when the majority of our current housing stock was built, up through the 60’s. It’s the way every non-housing scarce major city in Europe still functions. It’s not dystopian, it’s just not absurd

Cloth masks offer little to no extra protection. If you’re wearing an N95 you’re well protected regardless of whether or not the other party is masked.
Mandates were only meant to be used temporarily when covid was at its worst. These kids have been severely impacted by covid for 2+ years. Enough with the nonsense—let’s use common sense and free will.
You want to send your kid in a mask? Go ahead. Don’t force others to do the same because you’re still paranoid.

Early fireworks on the common at 7pm, weather permitting. The lights on the Comm Ave mall are cool, and less crowded than Copley. Check some of the concerts at First Night, then take your time walking over to the harbor for midnight fireworks.

Car infrastructure is free, don’t you know that? we only talk price tags when it is public transit.

Website wasn’t super clear and I have tried calling the last few days. It’s super busy due to vacation, so I’m guessing that’s why I haven’t heard back.

All of these words, yet no sense is made. Sad. So far your interests are following laws exactly as they’re written and telling people to get a job. Do you enjoy building walls as well?

If they're going slow like that, I hang back, and then wait for a gap and shoot around/past them.
Added bonus: Usually freaks them out.

Forgive them, they were chatting on the phone the whole 15-20 seconds they were driving up the on-ramp, when they should have been scanning traffic to time their merge.

I live at porter square and can confirm my black Subaru Impreza is usually parked between two other black Impreza or a prius. Obama 2008 or Coexist bumper stickers are optional.
