Check the above two links for help, but double check with the vet first to make sure that they'll accept the voucher you're going to use. About 8 years ago now I was able to get my dog neutered with the FoA voucher at the clinic down the street. Saved me several hundred dollars

Bought one of two condos in a former single family on the border of Camberville a little over a year ago now with my now-fiancee and dog who is probably similar size and weight to your small human child.
I second the consensus of other commenters that condos in Camberville will still be a decent investment. This is something I heard from almost any long-term Boston area resident we spoke to prior to purchasing.
As far as noise, HOA, etc goes, I think this is very situational. We got lucky with our upstairs neighbors (bought same time, similar demographic to us) because we both don't really care about a strict HOA and just talk to each other if we want to do house / property work. The noise isnt much different to a similarly dense Camberville neighborhood and if you hear your upstairs neighbors or not depends on them as well as your insulation.

Regrets? No! Having lived in a (non-local) more car-dependent suburb before, I much much prefer a smaller living space in a more walkable, dense urban neighborhood.

Lyndell's in Ball Sq for breakfast, you can easily snag a large hot coffee, and a couple pastries for under $10. They're not gonna win a james beard award, but the quality floor is really high, and the counter staff are so nice

Or if you want a sit-down, Kelly's Diner is also pretty good but most meals are now just about at the $10 mark (unlimited diner coffee refills though!)

Yeah, take a look at places around the new green line stops

there are definitely better out there, but Revival's is pretty yummy.

personally i prefer nano but i have limited brain capacity so i found vim too hard

"One bad encounter with a bike happened to me in real life, so now all these unrelated people on this online forum aren't allowed to talk about bikes!"

am i following that correctly?

Here's why I do it:

1. Safer than riding in the street
2. Safer than riding on the sidewalk
3. If no one else is in the bike lane
4. If it's faster to my destination than finding another bike lane the direction I need to go

If Sommeridge had more / better bike infrastructure then no one would need to. I don't think anyone really does this with malicious intent.

And if you'd like you prove me "wrong" I'd love to hear the evidence, big shoots.
