Have you tried the Circuit car that drives around Somerville? I’m curious about it but have not had a reason to explore it.

Preflight. The website has coupons for discounts.

Just came in from a walk, Inman area is a parking lot. Not envious of folks sitting in cars.

You must not live here if you’re surprised. It’s an expensive city. Anywhere in close commuting distance is expensive.

According to the most recent census, MA has had a net population loss so I’m not sure what population gain your question is referring to.

You could ask for someplace without pedestrians and people trying to quietly pay their respects, like a parking lot or a side street.

I blame him because he overstimuled the economy pre-COVID by leaving the interest rates low too long while the economy was humming along (he was pressured by trump and gave in). Then he overstimulated the economy during COVID because he didn’t recognize that he should scale back Fed stimulus once the government stimulus was approved. He has an almost pathological need to be methodical and transparent that causes him to pivot strategies too late. He was so afraid of spooking the market that he let the COVID stimulus run way longer than necessary. I don’t think he has learned from his mistakes and someone else should clean up his mess.

How is he not fired yet for his massive screw up over stimulating post COVID. Plus his screw up leaving the interest rates so low pre-COVID. He should not be in charge of fixing his own mistakes.

In my opinion, the best bang for the buck in terms of winter travel on the east coast is Washington DC. so many free museums. Typically slightly warmer a little further south. Boston is hibernating this time of year and indoor activities tend to be $$$.

How is this downvoted?Thank you for helping!

How do you do productive things while baked? I need pointers.

Everyone here is probably talking about the same guy and no one has confronted him yet.

It would take energy to turn the steam back into water and energy is $$$.

Many trees set their buds in the fall and then go dormant for the winter.

This is what I do. Google hotels with your dates and it does a nice little overlay of hotels on a map with prices. Look at photos. Book the one that is the best combo of niceness, location, price. Done. Asking us without a budget or location is not going to illicit many useful responses.

I’m not sure what interest rate you’re using but a $550k mortgage is about $3600-3800/month right now. If you’re using the estimates in Zillow the interest rates they use in their calculations are not up to date. You have to go in and change them to todays reality.

If you educate yourself on the Feds monetary policy you would understand that federal spending bills are not what is impacting housing prices and housing interest rates.

I do not think it’s an us vs them issue. It’s just that using a blunt instrument like monetary policy on the housing markets has unintended and unequal consequences. In total $$$, higher cost of housing areas are impacted much more both positively and negatively.

The garbage sitting on the market right now is INSANE. The interest rate hikes have barely put a dent in the housing prices around here. Which I guess is an issue when the Fed only has one tool and it’s a sledgehammer that impacts LCOL markets way more than the coasts. The lcol markets are hurting and the coasts barely see a blip. And then the cycle of ever increasing housing continues.

Its a fair concern. have googled this exact thing in the past after seeing similarly fuzzy buds in the fall.

Some plants bud in the fall before they go dormant for the winter. I am not sure what this plant is from the pic so it is hard to say whether this is abnormal behavior or not.

The original cocaine turkey. Great shot.
