It’s not fine. It’s hideous, as is the amount of money that went into it.

I wonder when Boston will roll out kayak rentals like those Bluebikes

We now have the answer to Matthew McConag(however it's spelled)'s question on Kimmel's Mean Tweets: "Dick turd... what's a dick turd?"

Let me tell ya, the incessant bitching about this public art installation (which is fine by the way) doesn’t do anything to make Boston seem less racist.

Just buy renter insurance… you will be fine. I think coverage max out at 25k.

Or maybe have them put the drape back over it?

I dont struggle with reading at all I belive its within human nature for people to read things and interpret it different ways. (Or am I wrong about that one as well) I read what the bicycle comment above says and interpret it as the bicyclist blowing past 30 suvs by going through a red light. Regardless am I wrong in saying that a lot of bikes do go through red lights and put themselves in danger? Again not saying cars are better, but am I wrong? No I don't think I am

Can you just tell him you’ve seen them in your unit.. you’re going to sooner or later. Make sure all your food is sealed so they don’t have a reason to come into your living space. Mice suck. I’d get some traps and place them around the apartment.

I believe that's up to interpretation/the way you read because I read it the opposite way and read it as blasting past suvs going through a red light. Regardless bikers running red lights, just like cars, is very much a problem

Let’s just say she wasn’t happy with me but i couldn’t not see a giant turd at this angle 😬

The person you responded to said they breeze past cars at red lights, not that they breeze through red lights.

FEMA doesn’t sell the insurance. If you go one step further than the title of the webpage you’ll see that private insurers are the ones who sell it

Can we petition the city to raise funds so we can have some heads attached to the disembodied arms? Or are severed body parts just a normal statue thing now?

So do you struggle with reading or were you just excited to respond to something the op didn’t say? They didn’t say blowing through a red light, they said passing cars stopped at a red light. You’re not required to que up behind stopped traffic.

What does this do to the first floors of all these buildings? Cannot be good for their longevity (assuming they’re around in another 50 years).

Oh for sure, not saying it can't be made more safe. I'm talking about current conditions/attitudes

Because I would bet FEMA is the insurer of last resort and they have to take a much wider band of applicants - and they have to balance their books according to federal regulations. So FEMA ends up with a lot of people who can;t get flood insurance anywhere else because the regular insurers have pulled out of the market.
I expect if you read through their financials you would see exactly how much they took in in premiums and how much they paid out. All,of that is publicly record and available for review if you want to review it.
Florida has this problem right now where the state insurer of last resort is caught having to many applicants and having to cover much more than it had ever anticipated. And this is because the normal insurance companies are either pulling off the coast of Florida or out of the state entirely.
