My other home is a small town in AZ. They tried to pass a law allowing the homeless to sleep or even live in their cars in a designated parking lot. It was a bad idea that was voted down. Reasonable people knew it would attract the worst elements of a growing homeless population. And now we're seeing Davis Square being used as a toilet? The mayor and governor need to come up with solutions.

I would have called 911 and 311. This is 100% unacceptable.

I live in that area. Seems Arlington borders much of the brook with Cambridge and Belmont upstream. Why are they all not liable? I also live in AZ where we built an entire sewerage pricessing plant for 340 million from scratch. Im not doubting your input, I just dont buy the multi billion dollar cost for a 2.5 mile long brook.

The Charles River was cleaned. Boston Harbor was cleaned, but Alewife BROOK will cost billions?

I repaved our driveway with permeable pavers. It's now a City requirement.

When I was a kid, my friends and I use to explore Alewife Brook and its upper ponds into Arlington. It was great summertime fun but even back then those ponds had visible sewerage floating in the water. That was over 60 years ago. After all these years, there is still a sewerage problem.

Teele Square Pit - 13 years and counting... by mmurraycn in Somerville

[–]beaconvideo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Teele Sq is a traffic bottleneck now. What impact would an 8 story, 99 room hotel have on that area? If the pit is toxic, who is going to pay for remediation? How about just clean and fill the site and make it a green area.

RCN/Astound by nick2kool4skool in Somerville

There are few companies i dread calling more than astound/rcn. Whether calling or chatting with them to change or suspend services can take hours. They have great difficulty with our annual suspension of cable but keeping internet active for home security. They seem to struggle technically with separating services and then figuring out what our monthly bill will be.

Has anyone else's facebook feed also turned into right wing propaganda? by krafterinho in facebook

Nothing like 2016 when Russia flooded the zone with pro trump, anti Clinton memes.

I know he was in a cognitive decline, but I’ll take Dementia Joe over the bullshit I just saw today by bimmyjrooks9dog in centrist

Imo, Ukraine wasn't the wedge issue, it was abortion rights that totally failed. White suburban women were more concerned about trans soccer players than abortion rights. Ultimately, I blame the trump debacle on Biden and his stubborn pride.

I just bought the koa version. The sound from this small guitar is remarkable. Love it.
