I know it might not be the intent of the flag, but I'm never comfortable seeing a cross (or any other religious symbol) on a flag. We are a secular state in a (supposedly) secular nation and there shouldn't be any symbolism that could be misunderstood to mean the contrary.

I'm having a hard time responding without turning this into a raging political rant. It just doesn't make sense to me. Even if you want more oil production, isn't making the US "energy independent" inclusive of many forms of energy production?

As a Billerica native, I'm actually kind of surprised. I'm sure there will be lawsuits, and I'm willing to bet that the old timers on the Billerica Residents facebook page are losing their minds.

<------This wannabe wise man would love that type of cushy job, but alas I'm not qualified and I don't live anywhere near the city. Still, it bothers me to see money getting pissed away on a questionable investment that doesn't benefit the city.

A wise man once said... But seriously, rebuilding the stadium to make it nicer for local HS football teams seems like a good idea. But I think the women's team would have a better time if they were in a state of the art stadium that will (supposedly) be built in Everett.

I'm glad they're repurposing the church, but my God, it's awful.

The TD Garden looks so much better with those black seats. I always thought the yellow seats looked tacky.

My wife and I are landlords here in Kuala Lumpur, and WE pay the broker fee. I'm not sure if that's the law here, but it's pretty standard. Part of the reason we even need a broker is because the rental paperwork is FAR more substantial than what we would need if we were in the US. Still, we...

What is?

Jesus, I thought you were joking, so I looked it up. lol

https://www.reuters.com/world/us/new-york-governor-relaunch-manhattan-congestion-charge-plan-source-says-2024-11-13/ I didn't realize they would need approval from the federal government to implement a toll.. I guess she figures she'd better do it before Trump taking office. That being said...

Although, as I think about it more, I'm not so sure how delaying the implementation of this program helped the governor politically. The people from the states it would affect most (NY, NJ, CT) were not at risk at going red - and even with the delay, all three states still became redder, though...

Sadly it's politics as usual, but the end result will be the one most people wanted, so I guess that's good.

Is Westford really going to add nearly 5000 units to their town? They don't even have a commuter rail.

I was there a few months ago. It's a lovely city, but the area reminds me so much of various places around the US. The CBD reminds me of parts of Manhattan or even Boston and the suburbs look a lot like ones we'd see in the Pacific Northwest. And the tram network is fantastic, but so is the...

I could see hourly service to Springfield, but reduced service to Albany.

Wow. I can't wait for that "twice a day" service. 😬

And that's fine. I like good architecture - and the there's no shortage of good architecture around the Boston area. But I also like affordability, and it would be nice to see move of these 5 over 1s to add density to places outside of city centers.

As a fairly regular visitor to Singapore, I think we can use the city-state as a model for both public and private housing. Outside of the central business district in Singapore, you see a lot of bland housing blocks that are mostly publicly owned and run. They're boxy, they often have big...

It sounds like a great idea but 50 minutes to go 10 miles is nothing to get excited about. Also, if they're going to take people home from the TD Garden and Fenway, they should have late night service. Also, frequency is key, so they're going to need more than one boat.
