Reply to comment by Wilforks in Apartment has no utilities included…and it’s oil heat by higherhopez
Lots of oil companies offer budget billing; I think Green Energy Consumers Co-op requires participating oil companies to offer one. Every summer, we're informed of our monthly payment, and in the spring it may be adjusted up, down, or suspended.

Sea levels are predicted to rise 10 inches by 2100. I don’t think that is “there is no saving Boston”

The only real plan is to relocate the capital inland. There is no saving Boston in the long term. 30-50 years maybe before flooding is a serious problem.

Agree! Clearly this 2021 article wasn’t enough to change anything.

I’ve hypothesized that in the future, there will be demand for engineers that update buildings and make them taller to accommodate for rising sea levels.
Boston will probably resemble Venice in many neighborhoods

I'm surprised by the lack of flooding in my area of Eastie considering its built on landfill.

This wouldn't affect you as a tenant but I have had to replace my hot water oil heater twice in the last 10 years. The servicing co says finding one is like hen's teeth and they don't even make them in the us anymore. As someone else said, it is so expensive in winter months but almost 0 in warmer months. Hope you find a good place!

We see these pictures every time there's a storm, and I've heard of approximately 18,000 waterfront planning studies, but does the city have any real, funded capital plan to fix long wharf? Like it clearly needs it's elevation raising a few feet, ideally it needed it about 50 years ago, so why haven't we done anything? If we can't fix things that already regularly flood what hope do we have for the future?

That doesn’t sound right. Did you have headphones on and miss it? Not trying to doubt you, but I’ve never ever in all my years heard of that happening without an announcement. I’m assuming other people on the car were confused/pissed?

Reply to comment by 2tired2care2day in hotels in downtown boston by qualtime
Counter review… I stayed at one of these and Chicago and it was the worst hotel experience I’ve ever had. Outside of the small rooms, it was located below a club. Extremely loud thumping music all day. Front desk refused to move us. Couldn’t sleep. If this place is anything like the Chicago one…. RUN do not walk away from it

Reply to hotels in downtown boston by qualtime
When on my own, I stay at Found Hotel which is close to Boston Common, Chinatown, Tufts Medical Centre, and Copley Square. It's also about a block or 2 south of the Four Seasons Hotel where I stay when in Boston for work. I've recommended it to a handful of friends and all have enjoyed their stays. Good luck.

Slowly sinking while all the residents get priced out of housing and no one who works there can actually afford to live there?
