Reply to comment by newcomputer1990 in Parking suggestions for Downtown or North End for a tourist? by mistlet0ad
No, the one above Boston public market / Haymarket / RMV is relatively unknown and affordable. If they want to go to Quincy market and the North End I don’t think there’s a better place to park…

My experience is limited, but we loved Bova's and noticed it had been voted the best at some point by some magazine.

Park next to the Common on Tremont St. You won’t even have to put quarters in the meter

Its 2 stops on the blue line to Aquarium lol. Just because you don't want to take it doesnt mean it doesnt work.
Terminal to T shuttle is 10 mins max. You're on the blue line for about 5 minutes and you can be walking into the north end.

Reply to Does anyone know of a reasonably priced painter in Boston? We are looking for a painter for our nursery. The best quote we have had so far is $950 for ceiling, walls, baseboards and 2 doors. $950 seems like a lot for a 10x14 room. by lolotaylo
That’s literally fair market price for a room to be painted. So I would say just sign the contact or DIY

If not a lot of time (idk what hotel you’re at) but if they have a spa or gym shower they will give you access to that

Tru.. An Uber would have cost $50 and still took 2 hrs tho.

IMO the cost of building new runways and more taxiways, a whole new set of terminals, buying out neighboring properties, building a highway connection to the airport, building a train connection, and everything else involved would not be even close to worth it to get the land “back” (we never really had that land, the airport is all infill, it was just ocean before.)
I think just building a train to the airport terminals is the best thing to do, and would be a fraction of the cost of relocating the airport. Even just beholding an automated people mover to the terminals and train station wouldn’t be a bad option, and would probably cost less.
As for height restrictions, they really aren’t that significant anywhere other than the seaport. Besides, personally I don’t want Boston to be New York skyscraper dense, I want it to be Paris dense, with more 4-6 story apartments, which are not affected by flight paths at all.

There is a bit of a learning curve when it comes to the edges. Nothing an hour of Youtube doesn't teach. And don't skimp on paint or tools. Benjamin Moore or Sherwin-Williams unless you like to apply a few extra coats.

Do we want more housing on low lying fill though? Eastie and Chelsea are some of the most vulnerable areas already iirc.

Right, I mean, obviously this would be a massive, major project. But the one improvement you can’t make at Logan is reclaiming all that land. It would also have a big impact on height restrictions in the city. Just thinking out loud, I really only have a layman’s understanding of the benefits of each scenario. I like having Logan so close but I do think there would be benefits to moving it as well. Hanscom seems like the most realistic alternative because where the fuck else are you gonna put a whole airport in the GBA lol

This. Unless you're looking for something fancy, anyone can do it. Bite the bullet on the price of some painters tarps, tape, brushes, rollers, pans, etc.
You'll most likely use them again in the future, and next time around you'll have the knowledge gained from the first time.
