There is a severe lack of good pizza in Boston and all the surrounding towns... it's my main rag on Boston, but I love it here otherwise.

That's not how that works... If you give the bank $1, and they have a 10% cash reserve requirement, they can keep $0.10 on hand, and only use the other $0.90 of your $1.

Ask for what you want/ think you need. If they reject that, that's a them problem. Especially if what you are asking for is in the listed range. They will either say we think we can pay X, agree, or not hire you. If they actually wanted to hire you from the get go you'll see option 1 or 2.

We want to DIY your ceilings without proper construction experience, for something we hope might work, but don't actually know how to sound proof. You mind living with that construction for a month? I don't know why you would say no. Must be unreasonable...

I almost got ticketed for going around a car parked in the bike lane that pulled out into me on my bike in front of a Cambridge cop... Does that count?

If we had that app I would make $300/ day just on my 4 mile round trip commute.... it's so bad and there is no enforcement.

You "agreeing to disagree" is ignoring study after study that cars are the most subsidized form of transportation, and it's not even close... You're welcome to just deny facts, but other people aren't going to do that.

I don't know how much time you want to allow, but the path near the BCEC is at least 2 years old, as is the one outside The Eliot. The one from Boylston to Westland is at least 5 years old and always a shit show.

The one on summer street towards the BCEC is very well seperated (wall of trees and benches) yet pedestrians still take it over... It's probably the best designed sidewalk level bike path I've seen. Doesn't help one bit.

I just walked from South Station to the BCEC and back today. The entire walk next to the sidewalk level bike lanes both ways had pedestrians in them, and that's a with benches and trees seperating the sidewalks from bike lanes. I've literally been yelled at for using the bike lane on Mass Ave outside The Elliot, and I refuse to use the Mass Ave one between Boylston and Westland because it is so chaotic... No one respects bike lanes, it's just extra sidewalk or extra car space.

Sidewalk bike lanes from a cyclists perspective are the worst implementation. Pedestrians are far more erratic, just walk along them without realizing they are meant for bikes, and have no realization when a bike is coming down the lane, even if you ring a bell or shout at them from 2 feet off their heels, then get mad at you for trying to use infrastructure meant for bikes.

Never had a problem there, and the pit has always been shoulder to shoulder up to front of house... It's a great venue, just wish there was less table space.
