I like them too. They constantly surprise me at how often they recommend delaying work for our old car.

This is a really important question. EVs are the future. We are crossing the tipping point where the total cost of ownership is better. Cambridge residents embrace technology and sustainability and have the resources to be early adopters. However owning them without a garage or driveway is not feasible.

I have a hard time predicting how and when EVs will become an obvious choice in towns where everyone parks on the street. Will the town make the huge investment in infrastructure? It doesn’t feel like a priority to me compared to public transportation and other investment priorities. Will grocery stores become charging locations? Why aren’t they yet? What is taking them so long?

I want a shovel to remove a poorly placed raised bed. I have no need or location for it once I’m done. Are there any places that lend out shovels?

Humorously, when I asked at Home Depot an employee suggested that I buy one, use it, then return it when I was done. I don’t think that is an official corporate recommendation.

I am remembering now that the light on Mass Ave is green for a while and red for a long time. Is it about this intersection where drivers on Brookline decide if they want to try to make the green light or not. If they decide they want to try to avoid the long red, they will speed up considerably here.

Do you think there is something about this intersection that makes it especially hazardous? (Or is there just something about the drivers on Brookline that makes them hazardous?)

Bummer. Have you looked at the video of the cars separating? That will be slower and is more likely to have legible license plate.
