I think I love it, but need to sit with it a bit longer :unsure:

The meeting was on a Monday. It doesn’t say what time, but already it’s going to be much harder for working people and parents to attend on a weekday versus retirees.

I think this is the big flaw in the argument: that if people/companies formerly tied to Boston were given the opportunity, they’d choose to reside instead in Brockton and Fall River. Wishful thinking to the extreme!

Another handsome older building bites the dust.

Could be cool if there was some kind of “Everett museum of modern industry” where there could be a single oil tank and some kind of reduced or dumbed-down model of the plant for education/preservation purposes. Kind of like a more contemporary version of the Lowell mill museum. They could have...

I was more concerned about fuel usage. Surely a 70min flight burns more than a 70min drive or subway ride.

So long as they preserve frogface! Though I guess I’d be okay if they tore down the lindemann and kept that bit as a standalone sculpture.

They drove up COL in formerly middle class towns like Needham and Natick by forcing the rich people to look elsewhere.

Think bigger! I hear Logan doesn’t have a lot more room to grow ;)

Ah, yes, the “how do we legally threaten these towns with dissolution if they don’t agree to build more houses” unit.

Just want to update folks that as of 2-3 weeks ago… My car is very happy.

Yup, definitely don’t go there very often. In response, I’d nominate the intersection of Main Street and Medford Street by Tufts pool as being really bad. The whole bike ride from Magoun to my house is sketchy (I get on the community path at Lowell street) but that intersection is probably the...

Admittedly I don’t take it very much. I’m either traveling perpendicular to or parallel to Highland. Poking around on Google, though, it doesn’t look worse than Main Street in Medford south of Medford Square.

Somerville’s roads are pretty good, imo. When I bike to the community path from my house in Medford, I can tell where the town line is by the quality of the pavement.

They’re in Korea, Japan, etc. too. But yeah, that was what I was thinking of. Not sure if it can stop icicles, but I imagine it at least keeps the hardened/frozen snow from sliding off in chunks on top of people.

If only we could copy/paste Cambridgeport throughout the metro area.

Isn’t there a better way of doing that that doesn’t impact the roof’s ability to keep off sun/rain? Make them heated? Or just have them curve upward at the ends?
