Reply to How do Downtown joints like Sam LaGrassa’s and Archie’s pay the rent only opening for 3 hours 5 days a week? by [deleted]
There aren’t that many kinds of businesses interested in renting those spaces. There’s no one around outside of business hours and they’re too small to be offices themselves.

I grew up in Florida and have lived in MA for a decade now. I will never give up my right to call Florida a shithole.

Reply to Healey should give rural Massachusetts a seat at the table - The Boston Globe by GlobeOpinion
It’s a short piece basically asking Healey to create a “director of rural affairs” position since the legislature is so dominated by urban and suburban reps.

You went to an underfunded school and now you want to perpetuate that by reducing funding to poor schools? Really?

Hopefully the school can teach your kids how to spell “decent” correctly.

Where are there large amounts of treeless land in MA? New England is heavily forested outside of urban areas and farmland.
We are going to have to cut down some trees to get anywhere close to our climate goals. Solar and wind are vastly more effective at displacing CO2 than trees are at capturing it. We have no choice if we want to do our part in averting the worst of climate change.

Solar displaces vastly more CO2 than the trees capture. It’s not even close.
There are also very few trees on this spot, it’s already got power line ROW going through it.

Reply to comment by Physicccc in Looking for a good neighborhood to live in near-ish to Boston College (early 20s woman) by Physicccc
I lived in Cleveland Circle for about 5 years. It’s a perfect option for your situation IMO. Easy to get to campus, plenty of food and a bar or two. Direct access to Back Bay and downtown via the C line (and B or D depending on where you live precisely).
I wouldn’t bring a car unless you’ll need it for off campus work or something. The snow isn’t that big of a deal but parking is a nightmare. I had a car the whole time I lived in the neighborhood and it was hit while parked 5 different times. Just a total pain in the ass.
Some other options for you would make more sense with a car (Newton, Chestnut Hill, etc).
