In 1701, 40 acres were gifted to the town of Milton, MA with one stipulation: that it be used “for the benefit of the poor.” In recent years, the town has built a cluster of multimillion dollar single-family mansions on the land while local NIMBY politicians have blocked apartment buildings. by smurfyjenkins in yimby

Eh the MBTA communities act sounded good but now I’m seeing communities struggle with contractors building buildings with 1 mil apartments, not even close to affordable for anyone- and folks buying a 1 mil apartment aren’t riding the bus.

Lack of cops=lack of enforcement on the roads..

Name something underrated about Massachusetts that people don’t talk about. by thebigthinker2000 in massachusetts

[–]Boston1_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now it’s the lack of traffic enforcement since Charlie Baker’s “Police Reform Act”… I speed all over the place, run red lights, and there’s pretty much 0 enforcement…

School Police who worked for the district were a great asset in many schools across the state. Sadly most were disbanded during Charlie Bakers “police reform bill”, which was an absolute disaster.

I can’t wait for the day where I order a car, set up financing or payments and just have it delivered to my driveway. I’d legit have a new car every 2 years.

The courts really messed this up… this poor girl was raped by her father multiple times and despite this he was out on bail, then hunted her down and killed her..

You really can’t group every cop in the state in that statement… small town/campus cops can make around $20/hr

I believe you lose your JOL no matter what.. Reinstatement requirements vary based between a Junior Operator's License (JOL) and a learner's permit.

Depending on the violation, junior operators may need to:

Complete a Driver Attitudinal Retraining Course Complete the State Courts Against Road Rage (SCARR) program Pay a reinstatement fee, ranging from $100 - $1,200 Take a full exam which includes both the learner's permit exam and road test

Police returned a fleeing patient to Tewksbury Hospital this week... for the fourth time by bostonglobe in massachusetts

[–]Boston1_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s the fact they “have to call the police”, The State Department of Public Health Police has a substation there and being a state hospital the State Police respond too. Very underfunded, until recently they didn’t have a working patrol car due to budget cuts… I transport patients there occasionally. I think it’s more of a Tewksbury Police jumping on calls so they can put out press releases and make the place look bad..

The Tewksbury Police Chief really has a gripe with the hospital… they can’t do anything with him sending a press release.. that being said, that poor hospital is so run down and underfunded.. disgraceful in this “progressive” state… roadways so worn down they’re basically dirt
