Reply to Maura Healey wants to solve the state’s housing crisis. Here’s step one. by _Hack_The_Planet_
" the so-called MBTA Communities law — requires communities served by the MBTA and commuter rail to zone for denser housing near transit systems."
I get the point of this law, but this is a little ridiculous how it is implemented. I can see building dense housing within walking distance of train stops, but they are doing this by town and even the ones next to them. Example, there is a train stop in Natick, but Dover and Sherborn count. I used to live in that area and it is a 20 minute drive to the train station. Sherborne doesn't have a lot of amenities..
Same with Billerica. Carlisle is impacted but had like one country store and very sidewalks. In some towns, the train is on the border and you can be a long ways from the station.

Just go into the unsafe areas. Roxbury, Dorchester, and Mattapan.... Rent is cheaper.

I liked the park itself and the fact you could walk under it and up to it. Still ugly as fuck from afar. Should be a tear down.

We need to bring back Dredging under local control. Towns should be able to regulate it.

You should see the cost of what we did otherwise. We water cooled a bunch of gaming machines and that worked well until the ac broke and the machines got soaked. Still cheaper than time.

We have simulation environments at work which are single core. The next state requires knowledge of the previous one. Can’t pipeline. This might work for us.

I have been thinking of buying in. The PE ratio is starting to look good for a company growing that fast.

I see a lot of people get around no dog laws by seeing a doctor and getting their dog listed as medically necessary.

Light can bend in the air depending upon atmospheric conditions. This is why people see mirages.

Reply to comment by Sinister-Mephisto in Apparently the MBTA is having a tough time filling their IT positions to the point they're resorting to using a particular type of 3rd party recruiters located out-of-state to fill them by goldeneye0
Don't these recruiters see jobs and just try to match up people to them? Not even sure the MBTA hired "Indian Recruiters"...

If you build a 2000 unit apartment complex in Sherbone, all you are doing is ensuring traffic. Zoning is designed to maximize the use of public utilities. Shit, I don't even thing Sherbone has a public water system. I know Carlisle doesn't.
