    Biking in Boston

    And it literally says Yield to Peds. Cyclists are entitled. So why can’t cyclists stay in bike lane vs full traffic lane? Same argument you are making.

    Biking in Boston

    So bikes don’t need to ride in the bike lane and can take a full traffic lane but pedestrians should stay out of the bike lanes that they are entitled to be in?

    Easy for you to say. Clearly they can’t make yet work or they wouldn’t be shutting. They would sell if they could profit.

    The New Retail Thread

    I get rooms that are effectively rented all year are really hotels, but 14 nights can be someone renting their Cape house for 2 weeks. Big difference.

    Idea for fixing the housing shortage

    Another idea - stop downsizing every proposal. More residential density is good for neighborhoods.

    Idea for fixing the housing shortage

    I agree with that but if you increased density in those areas why would infrastructure not support that increased population?

    Idea for fixing the housing shortage

    How did Boston support a population of 800k people in the 1950s but would struggle to support 20% more than the 685k we have now?

    Idea for fixing the housing shortage

    We have underinvested in housing (i.e., built less units) than the increases population and jobs would require. Remember that the decrease in average household sizes means we require more units to house the same number if people.
