    MBTA Buses & Infrastructure

    What has been told to me by a POC who lives over there - is that the senior leaders really really just don't want the bike lanes. That's a gentrification signifier too far - and the bus lanes sound more like shady business given the mayor's way of talking about it. I really think that the...

    I don't suspect that it's people in Iowa, but, people in Plymouth and Springfield.

    Gillette Stadium Transportation Improvements

    Good! They should be charging near charter prices for this event whose public benefit is illusory.

    Seems like this is a VZ configuration issue - I'm on Comcast home wired/wireless and it's been fine.

    MBTA Buses & Infrastructure

    I can't imagine that the improvement here means changing the street design - Medford is changing but not as fast as putting bus lanes on such a local street. I think it must be about the lack of a replacement for the 94 and that the 96, as proposed doesn't hit the same neighborhoods. Plus the...

    Postmodernism deserves a little love too!

    I feel like I'm about to see Fraiser Crane walk out of one of these photos.

    Seems worth a letter to the editor to be honest.

    Galt's Gultch | Libertarian Rantings

    Other than this article's assertions - i'm not sure that theres any data/analysis that backs up the position that millionaires are fleeing. If anything the secondary indicators (tax revenues) seem to indicate that the millionaires are staying put (or potentially making more than ever since the...

    Local Politics Thread

    I read that article this morning - she ends up looking like a flip-flopper and, somehow, Marty seems like he did a better job at keeping things going and staff happy than Michelle: An 11 person mutiny is kind of huge.

    Biking in Boston

    I recall there being a drainage inlet there - is it just not kept up and full of trash and debris?

    Housing (Supply Crisis & Public Policy)

    That *is* what we have for all the cities that have been permitting housing with inclusionary zoning: brand-new homes for every part of the income ladder. Some for ownership, mostly for rentals.

    Somerville Infill and Small Developments

    This is such a weird obsession by the Globe/Boston.com. Spite houses exist the world over and it seems awfully pointed that they keep on going after the Greek family.

    Housing (Supply Crisis & Public Policy)

    That is a non-Keynesian approach, at worse, and maybe possibly a low-tier Keynesian approach. Let the housing authorities rip - the Commonwealth can fund non-Faircloth restricted units - let 'em rip. And, get Faircloth out of here, too! That being said, I think new housing should be accessible...

    Housing (Supply Crisis & Public Policy)

    Doubtful that it is so localized to these policy decisions. On a macro scale, we're still seeing construction loans of 6 to 10% and mortgages north of 7%. All of these factors - in an area with high labor costs (another macro/external factor) - will be equally a burden if not even more...

    Housing (Supply Crisis & Public Policy)

    Healey, as perhaps the best and highest most representative of the investor and developer class (aka the Epstein class), clearly is messaging that they won't have anything to do with a "burn it all down" approach either. They don't want to lose out on the possible rents, but, they are not going...

    Connected/Automated vehicles and infrastructure in Boston

    What indication do you have that this will be the case? Algorithmic improvements seem to have a decay interval that often lead to bankrupcy post VC series 3.

    Fall River/New Bedford Commuter Rail (South Coast Rail)

    Who would run this? surely not Amtrak. CCRTA isn't ponying up for it. SRTA??? I know that crayoning is fun - I enjoy it regularly - because it leads to thinking outside the box. However, crayoning and reality are often two very different things - a sober and critical analysis is necessary in our...
