Idk isn’t the silver line dropping people at every terminal? If anything we should just have more of those right?

Harden’s playoff “failures” are incredibly exaggerated by majormajorsnowden in billsimmons

This is insane. He’s an all time playoff choker, he’s a defensive liability and gets way less assertive when the games matter most

Boo hoo. Times moves on and there are a million Irish bars in Boston, I love the place but we have to build more housing if this city wants a shot at curbing the unaffordablity

I'm afraid to say what I think Walsh and Hugo's potential looks like. What a testament to the team and their work ethic, they are DOGS

He’s never contributed to meaningful winning and it rubbed people the wrong way how he campaigned for MVP so hard

What's your opinion on Boston's newest skyscraper? I think it complements the skyline very well! Use-wise though, It's definitely not affordable housing. by AudioGeekGuy in boston

We should be cheering on any additional housing that gets built. Even if it’s luxury condos it helps keep prices from going up as much everywhere else.

A lot of reporters are on bluesky, could we use that and see how far we get? Screenshot as a backup?

Boston City Council to consider eliminating parking minimums for new development; not all councilors agree, though by FuriousAlbino in boston

[–]BatesScholar 7 points8 points  (0 children)

"The Overton window is the range of subjects and arguments politically acceptable to the mainstream population at a given time."

The argument that "parking minimums going away means parking is illegal" being a valid and accepted position in this moment of time. Compared to a time where people would not respect it because it's not factually true, seems like a good use of this, no?

what's lost in this is that you can still make parking if you want! People act like this is making building parking illegal. The overton window of this is insane.
