  "... when residents see dark windows in brand new buildings while struggling to find reasonably priced homes themselves. It reinforces the sense that the city’s growth has been skewed toward serving investors and part time residents rather than people who plan to build their lives in Boston" #boston #realestate #luxury https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/realestate/boston-built-luxury-condos-and-demand-never-arrived/ar-AA1Tw5Pa

  if elected representatives can't make it to community cleanup events, for #EarthDay or otherwise, they should *at least* send their staff. WHAT are we paying them for? #BosPoli #MaPoli #eastboston

  watched several surprising films over the weekend, rented from the BPL, including Downsizing (Matt Damon?!), The Drowning Pool (Paul Newman), The Duke (Jim Broadbent, Helen Mirren), Cake (Jennifer Aniston) and the one I originally went in for Dark Water (Mark Ruffalo, Anne Hathaway). Ruffalo making Dark Water was such a good decision on his part and Rob Bilott, the lawyer he portrays is an absolute hero for pursuing the case against Dupont as far as he did.

  if Boston had any heart as a city there'd be more than this weak "strongly worded letter" to keep a T station open so unhoused folks can stay warm in cold weather #bospoli #homeless #unsheltered + free link archived: https://archive.ph/dRUwu https://www.bostonglobe.com/2026/02/12/business/homeless-south-station-winter

A neighbor getting takeout stopped and helped for half the job. I tried to walk to my garden but it was too slippery, so I just walked around the block ( I love the grid 🔳) and another neighbor and I spontaneously decided to shovel out a crosswalk ramp together. 🎉 In NYC they are paying people $30/hr to clear the snow.

  RE: https://mastodon.online/@universalhub/116122270362355220 we don't need the city to organize shovelling meetups 🙃 they could be *paying* folks to clear the snow but these comments are going nowhere bc the city is not in the fediverse #boston #bospoli #snow

  Why does the "City Of Boston" have a page called https://www.boston.gov/rss/events but it wants us to download a "rss file" ??! Who even works here?

  Is anyone logging in to east boston's eagle hill civic association meeting tonight at 7pm? That grifty scammer matt pollock (aka moyer bell) might try to show his nasty face and take credit for facilitating art projects in the neighborhood. If our local community leaders/ elected officials fall for this kid's stupid tricks they need to be replaced. *I'm not logging on bc I don't need to hear his bullshit*
