So the PAC that’s really just a front for the lack candidate waited until the election she wasn’t in to do spend thousands of dollars? Not exactly a solid plan.

Park at the alewife. It’s 24/7 parking there free. Take the redline then silver line to the airport.

There is an economy lot at the airport that is cheaper than central parking. You might also look into lots outside Boston but connected by the T -- Revere, for example.

Have you ever tried to write as a group? No, it's a person.

It's called BIAS.
Candidates are limited by campaign finance laws from spending "too much" money on outreach to their potential voters. Therefore, special interest groups exist to spend soft money on voter outreach. They say that they are interested in "voter turnout", but there is only one political party that this "Priorities for Progress" supports.
For example, their founder Liam Kerr has an exclusive history of fundraising for democrats... I also looked up the history of the other "data driven nonprofit" group: Murmuration and found that their employees financially support only left wing PACs.
But this is an open secret. You would have me and others pretend that there is no bias and that this has no political agenda other than to increase voter turnout, regardless of who is running.

From Merrimack Valley, park at Wonderland and take the blue line in. It’s $7/day, and $2/day on weekends.

I live in the Merrimack Valley. A bit far and costly for Uber

I always wondered about those from revere and Chelsea. What is the cost per day and how often are the shuttles running? I assume about a 10 minute ride?

Yes I saw that. I’ve booked longer trips through the site and saved $$$$. But I just checked for this trip and looks like only a $9 savings on a 4 day trip.

Not what you're looking for, but Central Parking has cheaper rates if you pay in advance.

There are park and fly places on route 1a in Revere. Otherwise, taking an uber from home is usually the best bet if you dont live too far

Yup - if it's on my dime and we'll be away for a while this has worked out great for us. They have a great system.

I think you're maybe focusing a bit too much on the specific example here? Nobody is suggesting that black voters automatically would vote for the black candidate. That assertion is never even hinted at even a teeny little bit once in that article. It's absurd.
It's also absurd to pretend it doesn't play into voter habits. There's more than enough data to show that black voters are more likely to support a black candidate. Finding a way to capitalize on that increase turnout is probably going to help, even if that advantage with voters of the same race is slight.
Campbell in particular is irrelevant. She wasn't a distant 3rd who never had a shot. I think she just barely finished ahead of Janey.
This isn't about 2021. And it sure as shit isn't about fucking bingo spaces. It's about how improving turnout and reach might impact future races where the the difference between 1st place and 4th place was 14,000. In a city with half a million registered voters.

I usually use a van service, way cheaper than paying for even a few days of parking. Knights Limo is my go to

So? If all you have is an ad hominem, then I'll just block you.

Find a friend who will drive you and (more importantly) pick you up.
Offer them what you'd spend on an Uber and return the favor when they need a lift to the airport.
Other than that, probably something like Logan Express but that is a complete PitA compared to a friend.
