The open space aspect is not open to negotiation like that because it was part of the deal when they allowed use as a stadium and not a port. Personally, I think the casino is hideous and a soccer stadium here is a waste of a good view. It might look cool on tv but that's it. But I will say that...

This is not in the spirit of the law and they are going to erode it away to nothing. It would never have passed with the voters if it was essentially going into the general fund.

He is not completely wrong. What they do is "supplant" or "backfill." Essentially they use the money on budget items they would have had to pay for before and then use the savings on whatever they want.

You tell me. Should have been sooner like Texas, huh? I worked through COVID and I don't recall exactly when you were required to return to your office.

Maybe. We could speculate about any number of things but the AAA data set includes commercial drivers of all ages and is stated in millions of miles driven. It is interesting that Ed Markey is called too old but statistically he is probably the same or better driver than Seth Moulton and they...

You know statistically 62 year olds are actually the safest drivers? The info is old but you get the point, It's all about experience. https://aaafoundation.org/research/rates-motor-vehicle-crashes-injuries-deaths-relation-driver-age-united-states-2014-2015/

Let's give credit where credit is due. Wu didn't bring the good times to a screeching halt, Maga Mike's guy did that.

On another day there was a tour of the Zakim Bridge that also drew a huge crowd. After two decades of construction people were excited. I'll tell you that walking up and standing on the middle of the Zakim Bridge is a whole different experience than driving over it

I like that McGonagles new mural accurately depicts the blue stripe on the gas tank where Sister Mary Corita Kent is said to have included the profile of Ho Chi Minh in protest of Vietnam. She said she didn't but people still like to think it's true

The Market Basket in Chelsea is perhaps the single greatest supermarket on Earth. I am not kidding

I ate fish and chips at McGonagles Wednesday and I suggest you do too. It is the best pub and my favorite restaurant in Dorchester along with Shanti in Savin Hill.

I am sorry, I was not clear. There is no good reason for the city to advocate for the removal of a single floor in this place, which would then lead to a reduction in the amount of units. Happy? Now piss off

There is no real difference between a 6 and a 7 story building here. I agree with the city about the parking and the placement of the buildings on the lot, but there is no good reason at all to lower the amount of units.

Moulton's cynical age shtick could not work because old people vote at a much higher rate. I am glad he is going to lose because calling people grandpa has no meaning outside of social media
