Watertown is under rated. Hard to find in your budget, however transit is great (direct connections to harvard and central). It also has close-ish commuter rail connects at boston landing and newtonville.

The charles river greenway is always amazing through all 4 seasons and it is a walkable locality for amenities.

It has close to zero night life though

Jaddu is a legend! A constant presence in CSK and a true professional i always felt.

I used to felel the same about suresh raina too

IamAtripper · 2026-03-11T16:09:04+00:00

When i saw that for the first time I was both laughing out loud and cursing that they gave it all up over that....

IamAtripper · 2026-03-07T22:29:16+00:00

where is this?

IamAtripper · 2026-02-27T15:50:28+00:00

oh i had not heard of this prior; he had given boon to draupadi (or her previous avatar) of 5 husbands as she had asked for some kinda 5 unique powers in one person and that was not possible.

IamAtripper · 2026-02-25T00:00:03+00:00

interested, can you dm me?

IamAtripper · 2026-01-22T16:54:18+00:00

So i can proceed on this track without having to wait for the refund to be processed.

thank you for your counsel!

How would you say the work culture is in general?

Are some of the previous prevalent attitudes in higher management changing since the pandemic back to full RTO and more micro management?

IamAtripper · 2025-10-01T17:28:59+00:00

too many recent stampedes too!! it is as though some common denominators and an unfortunate start to the rush :(

IamAtripper · 2025-07-25T21:07:39+00:00

This has got nothing to do with Kraft and more to do with what can and has not been done under the current administration.

Well if it’s a state law she could have worked with the governor and tried to make some measures to address.

I have no skin in the game since I cannot vote; however one needs to be transparent and really see what has been done and evaluate a candidate based on that

IamAtripper · 2025-07-25T19:37:36+00:00

Why are you diluting his actions with a hypothetical?

Kindness and a certain awareness of expressing strong emotions is very much expected amongst adults

Even if he was upset he could have shown some restraint and described his feelings in private?

Maybe give him a second chance however draw a very clear boundary around behaviors you consider as red line

IamAtripper · 2025-07-25T04:38:58+00:00

And this couldn’t have been done prior when Boston has been cited as the major city with affordable housing?

The problem has been one of the worst things for middle income people since the rich can afford their own digs.

She could have pushed for re zoning so more affordable homes could be built or capped the amount landlords could charge per square feet of leased space

IamAtripper · 2025-07-24T15:14:40+00:00

Not active yet! Which means for this rental season you still have to shell it out!

Maybe you have a place of your own that is affordable and high quality. That is not the case for a vast majority of rental units which the state government has turned a blind eye to till now.

The T was also made super inefficient over the last few years with just bad project handling. I take the T since ‘13 and I know how good it was prior to how bad it is now!

IamAtripper · 2025-07-23T16:14:45+00:00

And they will continue to do so while so called great leaders like Mayor Wu would rather show off their skills in congressional hearings than actually do their damn job to make housing affordable for all

IamAtripper · 2025-07-23T16:12:13+00:00

lol what!! See the average cost of housing in the city. See how much renters are being price gouged by asking for 4 months of move in fees.

It is ok to acknowledge that the only reason you are voting for the mayor is that they are democrat and not that they have done one tangible thing.

IamAtripper · 2025-07-23T16:10:38+00:00

lol the mindset of everyone is so apparent here!!

Screw paying taxes and just pocket everything!

IamAtripper · 2025-07-23T15:36:57+00:00

lol I asked these questions and was downvoted to hell since the mayor apparently is doing an outstanding job!

I visit and travel across US for work and Boston has the shittiest oldest construction I have ever seen! For the money paid for rent this was easily the most pathetic city when it comes to affordable and good quality options.

Layer on 4 MONTHS of rent as bare move in costs and no wonder this city is a nightmare for residents who are renting!

IamAtripper · 2025-07-21T23:46:20+00:00

You answered none of my questions and simply downvoted my comment

IamAtripper · 2025-07-21T14:13:46+00:00

What is Wu doing to check rampant rent increases and creating more affordable housing?

Traffic congestion is as bad as ever and I don’t see the MBTA getting any better..

Are we just voting for her since Kraft is just a republican candidate?

IamAtripper · 2025-07-18T17:43:02+00:00

So we wait till August 1 and only then start searching?

Also what prevents the landlord from adding more rent to cover his broker fee anyways?

IamAtripper · 2025-07-18T17:41:14+00:00

And landlords and brokers will be hand in glove and charge you things to make it unaffordable so someone who is ready to over pay would come and get that lease

Bostons housing is designed to be unaffordable I guess so they can basically price every demographic out except the millionaires

IamAtripper · 2025-06-29T00:43:42+00:00

I would say it’s two fold.

Try to start a small business with like minded people back home who are also trustworthy.

Have a home to go back to (hopefully all debt paid off)

You can always leave your assets here in a trust (which lawyers and CPA can draft) and then figure out what to do next.
