Oh, please. It's been a coddling enforcement of what is already a milquetoast, hand-holding law that does not go half as far enough to address the actual housing crisis in the state. Cut the hysterics. If the state wanted to it could simply hand Middleton a zoning map and tell them this is how...

https://www.boston.com/news/local-news/2026/02/02/middleton-loses-2-million-infrastructure-grant/ It's an interesting case - the project is at the intersection of two MassDOT jurisdiction roadways and tied in with the construction of a 60 unit project that the state is theoretically trying to...

https://www.bostonglobe.com/2026/02/01/opinion/somerville-snow-shovel-teens/ Been talking a lot about winter maintenance of bike/ped facilities this past week. Low hanging fruit here.

So if I'm reading that right, the governor's proposed budget wouldn't close the budget gap?

First time I've been able to log on from any platform.

This is almost certainly why I've had poor results with it lol - turning to it when I can't think of something myself or readily find something. I'm sure you can get it to give you perfectly serviceable pancakes or scampi....but in those cases you can also find a dozen recipes of that that it...

And to be clear, I don't think it's at all a "luddite" view on the current state of gen-AI. I would love to be able to plug in the parameters and have a traffic impact assessment spat back at me. I would love to be able to take the endless stream of 100+ page planning documents that come out in...

This is just categorically false. Have you actually checked the veracity of its "summaries"? They're riddled with hallucinations to the point of it being faster to do it oneself. It's not even capable of giving main ideas a lot of the time. Usually it's just a guess of what the document is about...

That's a neat party trick. I won't say there isn't anything I ever use chatgpt for, but certainly not enough to justify even a $5 monthly subscription. EDIT: I don't work with code, where it seems like from what I understand there's actually some use case. But in my career as a teacher or now...

Ooo an excuse to whip out this bad boy

It should also be pointed out that the traffic models are not infallible prophecies recieved from down on high and have pretty regularly overestimated vehicle volumes, while the confidence in the active transportation numbers should be near 0.

Reminds me of Hartford

I don't believe so, but if the state leg tomorrow decided to do so would it be ruled unconstitutional?

Also very much not a lawyer, so following how this plays out is fascinating. My view is it's not really any different than rent control or price fixing which, while I agree they're bad policy are legal. If you put a price cap on bread, that means anyone building a bakery has to sell their...
