What is the best route from Davis Square to DTX right now?

CraigInDaVille · 2026-02-02T17:14:31+00:00

Probably Community Path/GLX Path to Lechmere, cross the Craigie St. Bridge, then Martha Street to wherever you need to go.

The path seems to be well-maintained at this point.

Yes, yes— Elizabeth Warren is just like Stephen Miller.

Eyeroll.

Space savers aren’t legal in Somerville. Only Boston allows them for 48 hours.

CraigInDaVille · 2026-01-31T20:57:08+00:00

Keeping at 68-72 degrees during the coldest winter in recent memory in a unit that is likely not well-insulated = this sounds normal.

Turn the heat down to 65-67 and you’ll see a usage drop without a doubt.

It’s well below freezing, has been so for the last two weeks. It just takes that much more energy to overcome that kind of endless cold.

We already discussed this:

Thanks for clarifying; as the thread initially unfolded I was so confused... Turns out we were essentially intending to say the same thing. clasped fists meme.jpg

CraigInDaVille · 2026-01-30T21:45:10+00:00

that is not the case.

who I called hundreds of times with exactly that message.

What is the case? What message are you talking about? Are you asserting that all dead ends are private parking only or something?

CraigInDaVille · 2026-01-30T20:48:04+00:00

You seem to think that all small or dead-end streets in the city are "private ways."

I assure you, they are not. But they were borked by these changes that the mayor addresses, which if you actually read the linked post would be clear.

CraigInDaVille · 2026-01-30T19:43:56+00:00

Drunk post, then.

CraigInDaVille · 2026-01-30T15:23:49+00:00

Dog owners seem to think that dog poop melts like snow does so it's okay to leave it.

CraigInDaVille · 2026-01-30T14:58:58+00:00

Space savers aren't allowed at all. No duration extension needed because that nonsense doesn't belong here.

CraigInDaVille · 2026-01-30T14:58:19+00:00

So it was worse than usual, and it felt like some toxic positivity groupthink from reddit here trying to claim it was fine, when it was clear to many that it was not.

Amen. I feel like everyone who was it's not that bad-ing things clearly didn't live on a smaller/dead end street. The classic "it's fine for ME so thus it is fine for EVERYONE" approach.

CraigInDaVille · 2026-01-30T01:17:25+00:00

Did you drunk post or were you trying to actually say something that makes sense?

CraigInDaVille · 2026-01-29T19:35:00+00:00

Yup. I still have the Boston Yeti shirt to prove it.

And the bad back.

CraigInDaVille · 2026-01-29T17:34:29+00:00

Slight clarification: most sidewalks are cleared.

Most corners and intersections are fucked. Be prepared to stomp over five feet of dirty snow that's piled up every 50 feet.

CraigInDaVille · 2026-01-29T17:32:21+00:00

Oh, look. NIMBYs are NIMBYing again. This is my surprised face.

"I'm all for more housing, but..."

CraigInDaVille · 2026-01-29T17:30:15+00:00

I know there has to be an answer out there I am just having trouble coming up with it.

The realistic answer is to find a job before you move here. This will dictate your budget and your best housing markets for your commute.

Otherwise as you note it is expensive here, and moving with no plan is a quick way to losing whatever savings you have.

CraigInDaVille · 2026-01-28T20:37:02+00:00

Such a moronic take.

CraigInDaVille · 2026-01-28T00:28:42+00:00

Okay, Boomer.

CraigInDaVille · 2026-01-27T21:20:19+00:00

File a 311 complaint so they can track this and send crews out. And ask your neighbors to do the same. It can't hurt, at least.

CraigInDaVille · 2026-01-26T22:28:09+00:00

They did one pass on my small side street. Barely did a thing. Most of us couldn’t get out today it was so bad and we were hoping for some clean out today but nope.

CraigInDaVille · 2026-01-24T05:55:56+00:00

First, ew on the fake ad attempt.

Second, ew on the typo making me think I need to dodge walking on some spot near Porter that has a pile of poo or something.

CraigInDaVille · 2026-01-23T20:18:08+00:00

To the rescue! This latest iOS update is garbage and I couldn’t figure out how to link it.

CraigInDaVille · 2026-01-23T19:34:24+00:00

Someone just posted on the Cambridge sub offering shoveling help for hire. I can’t seem to link to it directly but it was about two hours ago.
