I don’t even understand how you get to be 6-7 figures delinquent. I once made a mistake on my taxes and owed the IRS a couple hundred bucks and they were aggressive and threatened to garnish wages.

You can choose wherever you want to eat or shop. There's places I support because of their stances and politics and shops I don't support because of their stances and politics. It goes both ways for me.

Hope st is a very crowded area, especially with the huge student population, in one of the most dense cities in the US.

We did the trail for a week and it was fine, more people were able to access Hope, families, kids, the disabled, etc, finally felt safe and could commute and ride around. As per studies and my observation, there's an over abundance of parking. And again, this infrastructure reduces parking needs as it encourages noncar transport.

We cannot keep catering to only cars especially in the wake of safety hazards, a growing dense city, climate change, and everything else.

If a business cannot survive losing 1-2 parking spots (even though all evidence shows it increases business), that's on them.

Pretty much all prior studies examine whether it impacts businesses in crowded city areas, not in more suburban areas like the east side. Also, parking on Hope st can already be a pain sometimes. I can only imagine how bad it would be if you take away half the spots.

Noooo!!! Also can’t believe I missed them! I saw them in Portsmouth, NH in 2019 and they were absolutely amazing live, especially in a small venue. Love the fact that they come to smaller towns here on the east coast.
