https://csindie.com/why-doesnt-phil-eng-know-how-batteries-work/ I have picked up opinion writing. I definitely simplified things here but I think some may appreciate.

If it gets bus lanes, I think it is 100% OK to not also put in separated bike lanes as a compromise. I say this as someone who only owns a bike as transportation. Stripe parking spots all the way up and down and then in ten years Mayor Mamdani can do quick build flex posts there.

I just hate that we have admitted defeat on transit costs. I think the report on GLX from Alon Levy's group was really well-reasoned and it has generated ~zero talk at the MBTA about how to contain these contracts and do more stuff in-house and cheaper. The only people who want to talk about...

Dotnews, please, copyediting lol

CIA hit her with the ray gun that turns you into Eric Adams apparently

I would think of it like NYC - Somerville and Cambridge are Brooklyn, Brookline is Staten Island… I’ll stop now before I offend anyone

This is a decent project, but it is funny that they made this image for the website, because it resembles every architect's dream: To drop glass boxes on top of neighborhoods they don't live in.

Man, interest free loans for homeowners. They can turn around and rent it for double. Seems like this would print money for homeowners

Wu is not a progressive she is a mainstream Democrat hoping to run for senate. Democrats don't believe in using political capital, they prefer there to be long processes and "norms", etc. to protect interest groups

It’s uphill from this puddle

This has been annoying me forever, the bike lane redesign by the museum of science that extended the curb to add elevated bike lanes (which took them years to do for some reason) was not designed with drainage in mind at all… this is the worst I’ve seen it today but there’s several locations...

In reference to the last paragraph in the article on the deal he’d make to help renters: “…in return for which we will support the kind of permitting reform that in two years allows us to get in place the housing stock that we need to bring rents under control.” So as far as the govs plan goes...

I agree, tho it's interesting to hear how people on Reddit talk about the Somerville, Cambridge, etc. of 20-40 years ago. There are a ton of people who just flat out would trade everything for it to be 1996 again. They don't think the last 30 years have made us happier (even if we are much...

The economist they just interviewed in WGBH was saying that it would take two years of building like crazy to bring rents down. To me that seems like an impossible timeline. If your only goal was to fix affordability, find new mayors and legislators for Boston, Somerville Quincy, Chelsea...

Agreed but--existing owners have profited massively over the last 20 years and renters have paid for all of it. We should all be paying the price for it. Maybe it's time that we all go down together.

Yea it seems crazy... I think a lot of holders of office/lab space would do an incredible amount of backflips for a tenant

To be fair some of us hadn’t been born

Those photos are awesome, I love that it's actually easier to do this than to get architects/planners to allow a brick building with nice big windows like this.

I mean the experience that we're trying to preserve in Matthews is A) whatever historic aspect it had, so that's intangible but B) the intimacy of the arena, and when colleges enrich themselves at any cost as much as NEU has, and paid for as good a hockey team as they have, they don't want to...

Correct me if I’m wrong but I believe the models Apple uses (at least for non-important buildings) are made by volunteers on open street map
