Add Harvard next door to Boxborough. If I didn’t have to commute, I’d easily live in Harvard. Beautiful town that feels like it is the berkshires dropped into Eastern MA.

Would add Hopkinton, Westbrough, Northborough towns here. Hopkinton has best schools, but I love the westborough / northborough vibes.

Might find something in Carlisle as well, although I think that is pricier.

Sherborn has top end schools but is significantly cheaper than Dover (though still expensive). But Sherborn seems to be returning to pre pandemic levels where no houses go up for sale there

Not sure why you’re getting downvoted, this is correct. Section 8A says:

Section 8A. In the prosecution of a person who is an occupant of a dwelling charged with killing or injuring one who was unlawfully in said dwelling, it shall be a defense that the occupant was in his dwelling at the time of the offense and that he acted in the reasonable belief that the person unlawfully in said dwelling was about to inflict great bodily injury or death upon said occupant or upon another person lawfully in said dwelling, and that said occupant used reasonable means to defend himself or such other person lawfully in said dwelling. There shall be no duty on said occupant to retreat from such person unlawfully in said dwelling.

It’s pretty clear to me what happened. Talk radio only works if you piss people off. Felger knows nothing about sports, but he knows how to rile up a fan base and get people calling in, yelling at him and engaging with the show.

You can see Mazz try to be more like Felger, and it’s always transparently flat.

Boston is part of Greater Worcester

Almost every single NFL, MLB and NBA team is profitable AND there is huge growth in franchise values. Not sure what you’re talking about

The people who can pay a $50M fee usually aren’t in the business of bearing millions in operating losses unless there are huge growth opportunities.

It feels like people are either: (1) this poor mom - she had her life ruined by PPD or (2) there are no excuses, she’s a killer. Almost no one commenting here knows the extent of her PPD (although from rumors, it was pretty severe), who she was before PPD, the full backstory about how this played out or why this happened. It’s good to see people being aware of PPD, but blindly calling her a victim isn’t really a terribly bright take either.

I just know the kids were innocent here and what happened to them is awful. I feel like it’s really sad that everyone seems drawn to this story to give their uneducated take on the mom and what her fault is. I just feel for the kids who lives were needlessly taken

20-30 degrees is absolute non-sense. not sure how that post can be upvoted. You can look up annual temperatures in MA since the 1800s and most areas are around 2-3 degrees over the last 150 years. Worcester is pretty flat, cape and islands are closer to 5 degrees.

I find this thread hilarious

First of all, it’s not a payment to the government. It’s returned if you show up to court. Second, bail is an imperfect system and there are better alternatives that work in some circumstances, but it’s certainly better than locking up everyone until trial

Bail generally isn’t to keep people off the streets. It’s to ensure they show up in court, because the criminal process is really slow. When bail has been set, the state hasn’t proved anything, other than that they had probable cause to make an arrest, which is a really low bar. Your position is basically “if the police accuse someone of a violent crime, they should sit in jail indefinitely.”

Remember when Romney was a sane governor of MA and passed healthcare reform? Then he needed to win a primary and all of a sudden his healthcare system was socialist and he was willing to play into blatant racism to win.

I don’t doubt Baker wouldn’t suffer the same fate. If he’s smart, he’ll ride off into the sunset and consult for Bain or something and make $10M a year

Wow, your Halloween metric tracking is pretty advanced

“Ok, then he went down Comm Ave…McGeary’s has a camera that should show where he went. They caught me beating up a black kid on video back there in the 80s. And then if he turned onto Beacon Street, should have audio sound but no video. I evaded a hate crime charge there in the 80s for dropping N bombs while beating up a black kid, but they couldn’t prove in court it was my voice with out the video.”

That movie was pretty much “If I were a cop in Boston, this is how it would have all gone down.”

I look forward to the scene where he rattles off every business security camera in Brighton to help triangulate who will have footage of this guy - just so he can show us how Boston he is

Plus, Yarmouth, Falmouth, Cape Elizabeth, etc. are all a stones throw from Portland. You have young (30s) people with resources filling up the surrounding communities for access to the schools. Those people support the breweries, restaurants, stores and arts around Portland.
