Unpopular truths are still truths, but people don’t want to think about them.

There are a massive amount of tenants rights programs in MA, I recommend calling 211 to see if GBLS, Suffolk, or Harvard will give you a hand.
Don't let the property management co push you around, you have a lot of tools in your arsenal. Definitely make sure the health inspector comes out. Check out masslegalhelp and click around on the pages that apply to you. You can also inbox me with questions you may have regarding the situation as I do this stuff for a living. I won't be able to take you on as a client but I'm always happy to provide info and contacts.

10 feet is the worst case prediction, assuming continued CO2 pollution at 2020 levels. In that case, Boston is a goner.
All it will take is the end of the Thwaites glacier, which is collapsing at a rate about 15x faster than expected.

How do people know when there's a concert occurring? I know you can follow their social medias, but it's a lot of work tracking them individually. Was looking for something like an app or websites to give notifications when something pops up

It was Night Train Express fortified wine… the express is the most important part. I plastered the outside of the McDonalds on Gallivan with that fine beverage one night in the early 90’s.

Not sure what happened to it but we need to lock the bay. There was a proposal to lock the harbor islands using dredged sand from the bay and expand the main shopping channel to also allow modern cargo ships. The problem is the Dredging Act currently prevents this and requires congress or executive order to repeal it.

Tô be fair, if even %15 of the city goes underwater, what does that mean for the T and surrounding infrastructure?
The city would be doomed.

4 feet is a very worst case prediction but yeah looking at the cities maps it's still very far from "the entire city is doomed" even in a worst case 1% flood 2070 scenario. https://boston.maps.arcgis.com/apps/View/index.html?appid=77e5ead45a664676b7d404d6df3d7f05&extent=-71.0996,42.3244,-70.9606,42.3940 from https://www.boston.gov/departments/environment/preparing-climate-change

Reply to Beaches with night access? by romcomaspirations
Carson + M/L St beaches in Southie is on the Red Line (Andrew Station) and have free parking. It's long stretch of sandy beaches from Pleasure Bay (you can plane watch + cool night time port lights) all the way down to UMass and JFK Museum. The view of Telegraph Hill (Dorchester Heights), where George Washington scored an important victory over Britain, is lit up pretty nicely from Carson Beach.
You probably won't see stars super clearly though, but a moonlit ocean is pretty cool. You're also really close to restos and bars in Southie.

By capital, do you mean Beacon Hill? We’ll all be long dead before Beacon Hill is underwater. The Seaport will be an early casualty of managed retreat, and nothing of value will be lost. Most of Boston can be saved on a reasonable timeframe.
I mean, unless by long term, you mean when all the glaciers melt and Concord, NH is also underwater. But even in the most doomer scenario imaginable, that’s not going to happen for centuries.

If there’s cars parked on Long Wharf, it’s not submerged yet.

Nope, more like 4 feet by 2070
Most of Boston is saveable
