I think his strategy seems to be targeting donations first. Even if Newton, Brookline, etc can't vote for Boston Mayor, they can donate money to who they want. Or create an anti-Wu PAC. Honestly I'm waiting to see if he brings up Wu's purported anti-Italian discrimination... would show which...

Yeah I think the Kraft family's long history of supporting Republican politicians will add something interesting to this race. I feel like a lot of his family's pull would work better at the state level; I think people who vote in Boston might think differently about a Foxboro Prince...

Ok, I was thinking about this earlier. Let's say Brightline sees success in California/Nevada and further success in Florida, and decides it wants to compete with Amtrak on their own rails. Is it possible?

It's just so badass. One of the best examples of writing on a flag. Washington used it for his ships. I know it looks similar to the new Maine flag, but I honestly don't care.

I wish we could use update the An Appeal to Heaven flag from Maritime to state flag, but it seems that the white nationalists have been using it as well.

yeah just had the site crash, first time i've seen that

I've always thought we should incorporate Cranberry (the color) into our flag. Blue, Yellow, White, and Cranberry, maybe something with the Sacred Cod. I know we have a lot of modern industry in our state's history, but highlighting our iconic industrial history (Maritime, Fishing, Cranberry...

damn i look forward to unscrewing it from your car

@Equilibria I really think you should drop the "lifestyle" argument when talking about this topic. Speeding isn't a "lifestyle," neither is running red lights, illegally passing school busses, or driving in a bus lane. If you think breaking the law is a "lifestyle," then sure, but don't lump...

had friends who stayed at the Moxy in Brooklyn. Makes sense for an audience that views a hotel room as a place to dump your stuff. But felt clean and modern.

If we didn't do things because a guy in the field tried to bribe a Chicago politician, we wouldn't do anything in this country.

Doesn't this just say it's on the Governor's Desk? It isn't in the "Acted On" section

Which low income people are you including? People in the Congestion Zone? People in Manhattan, or in the 5 Boroughs, or in Long Island, or in New York State, or in Connecticut & New Jersey? As BeansTheCat says, some of these are already included. You can still drive into Manhattan and take...

I'm not sure Maura Healey is capable of doing anything. I wonder if she struggles with getting out of bed

I think this may be what I need. Anything to make the fines for the actual issue outrageous. I honestly don't trust our human enforcement officers (cops most probably) with being able to accurately issue tickets even for one ticket. Sometimes they really gotta finish their candy crush level, or...

As sophomoric as it is, I think we can all agree that we'd prefer to avoid this cheap and tacky siding infill that some developers prefer: I think real brick looks better, and can future proof better since a lot of the buildings like those above can be built pretty cheaply. We should try to...

First, using Chicago as a reference is pretty off base. They sold the rights to all of their parking spaces for 75 years. Second, the Curry interviewed in the article works for the Fines and Fees Justice Center, a thinktank (?) that is lobbying against all Fines and Fees. He's going to argue...

Legalize red light/bus lane cameras, allow for civilian reporting of parking in Bike Lanes/Bus Lanes as well as covered or obscured plates, and make police lock up their phones on duty and focus on the remaining dangerous drivers seems like the best case scenario here.

just saw a police officer totally ignore a car illegally reverse into oncoming traffic after making a wrong turn right in front of his squad car. He was texting while driving so he didn't see a thing. I'd be happy to have to pay fines for when I run red lights, since I don't intentionally run...

Yeah, the Brookline Police Department definitely tickets a lot, but I don't think it's out of their belief of bike safety, nor to create a more rule following state. Honestly, I think they're bored and it's something to do. I cracked up when I saw those "We stand with the Brookline Police...
