I just want the box!

There's one down the street towards Davis

College Ave at Davis has these, they're great

Wow. So many major disadvantages to prioritizing safety. /s--clearly

I mean...

> for use at low traffic-volume locations, the arrangement is common in the United States, Canada, Mexico, South Africa, and Liberia, as well as in a number of, usually rural, locations in Australia where visibility on the junction approaches is particularly poor.

is pretty dead on for Cambridge.

And I noticed you missed a couple of countries....

We also don't have many roundabouts, and never will have as many as other countries where they're more common. This doesn't seem like a fair comparison when the roads are completely different in other countries.

The rest of the world shuns stop signs?

I have a low to the ground car and only have issues when I'm going too fast. I recommend slowing down.

It's the enforcing that seems to be the issue.

Please continue to tell me what I think and do. I LOVE that.

Edit to add:

What are you talking about with optimizing a city? Optimizing for who? I drive daily and hate it, wishing we could all go car-less. Pedestrians and others on the road (like other drivers!) shouldn't be put in danger because you want to save 0.4 seconds on your commute.

It seems to me that an "optimized city" would prefer to prioritize public safety over your desire to save that 0.4 seconds.

You'd have to level the entire city.

No, I do. Especially since I treat most as 4 ways anyway. There are too many chances in those dense neighborhoods, and people need forced to change.

Most, if not all, intersections on residential streets need to be 4 way stops. People blow through streets going way too fast, and the blind turns are nerve-wracking.

I was v confused for a minute...

Taxes are weird, and I guess you wouldn't know this if you didn't deal with purchasing or selling. Like, why would a librarian know?

Another weird thing that I learned as a student is that Universities and schools can't charge their students meal taxes. If you go to one of the HUDS cafeterias and look like a student, they'll ask if you are. Say yes, you pay no meal tax.

Yes it's legit, no don't xpost to r/Harvard.

I really thought this was common knowledge.

But if you need Harvard's tax exempt code, it's 10798176.

The Law School has the best, hands down.

I was JUST about to comment about this!

I've known one person to successfully regrade their position and it took 6 months.

Seriously. East Boston to Cambridge is over an hour via train.

Asking the real question. It depends on the grade, not the spread. You'd have to be a 53 for over a decade to go above the middle.

Lol you're the one complaining here my dude

OP, I can't help but I want to say that it sounds like a lovely idea, and I wish you all the happiness in the world!

You didn't propose anything, you attacked someone wanting to do something special.
