People are ok with professional athletes and entertainers making millions of dollars but think cops should be paid like peasants. This logic insane

All that asphalt and I still can’t find parking at market basket

I’ve always asked the cashier and they tell me the price. Then I just pay it.

As someone who has 2 kids ( one of which with autism) zoom schooling was the absolute worst for elementary aged kids. And honestly you’re a moron if you think otherwise. Kids do not have the capacity to sit in front of a screen to learn all day. Kids also need the social interaction and structure of in school learning(especially special needs children).

Can we agree at least that in class learning is far better for kids than zooms learning? Which would mean that teachers are way more important than just being called babysitters.

I’ll take towns I pass on the way to Rhode Island for $600 Alex

How would you invest in the community? Which communities are we speaking about? I agree that just throwing money at police isn’t necessarily the answer, especially considering that I’d be worried about where that money would be taken from. I’m not for bolstering police if it meant something like taking away social programs for kids. Maybe something they could do would be to invest more money in the schools. Pay the teachers better and just in general invest more money into the future generations.

Well I guess my next question would be if we are so low in spending, then why isn’t their room for improvement in terms of spending on more police to patrol places that are known for high crime? with more emphasis on public spaces. I don’t disagree with much of anything you said.

Also maybe give more leeway to home and business owners to protect their property. Right now if someone breaks into my house or business and gets hurt while trespassing I get sued for something I had no control of. Meanwhile if they are their to attack, I’m suppose to runaway and am not allowed to protect myself. All the current system does in my eyes is incentivizes crime on personal property and places all the blame on the owner.

I think overall we are safer as a state. If not for the police , laws and rights we have which differ from state to state then why would you say we are safer per capita than 95% of the rest of the country? By the way, I believe the only states safer than us are Maine and Vermont if I’m not mistaken. So why is this region of the country leaps and bounds safer than the rest?

Maybe they do, but we are in the top 5 safest states in the country (3rd I believe). If the police union having a little more political power then that seems like a fair trade off. I’d rather politicians figure out how to make my commute home shorter.

This is 100% going to happen wether people like it or not.

You aren’t locked into national grid, you can shop your electricity around to find a cheaper provider

This isn’t even worthy of its own Reddit thread let alone police assistance for lost (not even stolen) AirPods

It’s a term or endearment

A good tip is a different career. Hard to afford to live here on a teachers salary

Looks like a jacked Ernest

Can’t see him

It should really be simple. The residents are assuming everyone who is homeless is a drug addict or criminal which isn’t the case. Allow this to happen, make a requirement of no drugs or arrests while a resident and having to keep your own space clean. If they can’t follow those simple rules then they get booted out. Sometimes it’s just a family who’s living on a couch or out of their car but need to be in the city.

Notice how quiet they are too. If they thought they had a leg to stand on then they would downvote and speak up with their whole chest.

So everyone here is the “ all all for helping the homeless as long as it’s not my neighborhood” crowd lol

Buys/rents place next to airport…. Proceeds to wonder about planes being to loud…. Make it make sense

Boston area that are triple deckers or 2 families it’s very true. You may not want to hear it but it’s true.

Also they ladder is happening all over the country. It’s actually a hot button issue at the moment and a big reason people are fighting that big corporations shouldn’t be involved in residential housing

2 things I’ve seen. 1- landlords prefer section 8 assistance because it is guaranteed income and they don’t have to worry about you not paying or losing your job or another pandemic where they struggle to pay the mortgage because not only are you not paying but they can’t evict you so they lose the property. 2-lots of corporation landlords that have tons of property in one area aren’t actually looking for tenants, they just pretend to and leave the places vacant to artificially inflate demand and inflating rent prices.

In short, you’re f*cked.

You may have to pass it down a couple generations before you see a return on investment lol

Stoughton also apparently has a severely corrupt police force if you judge by recent turtleboy articles.
