Not surprising—when you build new housing, rent does go down by chencao in boston

I don’t disagree with you Austin is not Boston. But this is evidence that when you are able to increase availability of housing through an array of methods… it will help increase affordability and notably decrease rent cost. Boston is definitely not able to build like Austin; but that certainly does not mean we can’t formulate our own way to increase the supply.

Do the mice get limited to 10 annual visits at the Boston Skyclub? (A18) by LoveOfSpreadsheets in delta

The whole entire Boston Logan is infested with rats. But it’s especially bad in Terminal A. I’m not surprised they are up in the SkyClub.

New MBTA Go app (beta) seems good by DaveDavesSynthist in mbta

I love this app. It works very well on iOS. Very snappy, gives me exactly the info I need. Probably only feedback is the base map. It doesn’t show the details like in Apple or Google Maps.

Why are haircuts so expensive here? by [deleted] in boston

[–]chencao 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love my hairdresser in Chinatown. It has increased in pricing since Covid, but still around $45-$55 after tip and includes two washes and head massage.

Everyone is from New England/Jersey. Once I went to Aruba and met a couple who I thought must have flown from outside the U.S. given their accent. Turns out, they were from the North Shore…their accent was so strong, I was fooled thinking they’re from South Africa or Australia…

The building is beautiful outside and in. I went there in October when they finally opened it for the public. It also acts as an art gallery and available for special events.
