People in my "progressive" neighborhood NIMBY'd a *senior affordable housing development* into reducing its units from 71 to 41. Just an absolute moral travesty. (Rogerson/Beaufort project in JP)

This is a moral crime of the first order. If there's a hell, Elon Musk would burn in it

Which cvs???

Is there some kind of recount threshold? Are there any provisional ballots that would be considered?

Does this include early voting and mail in ballots?

Its almost like.. defunding Septa has cascading effects beyond just SEPA... who would've thought

Map of where housing can be built without parking in eastern MA. Striking how far Boston lags behind many other cities and towns in the region (source: National Zoning Atlas new MA map)

More high density neighborhoods!! (Finally fixed the legend title.)

In Philly and Boston, we've got massive and continuous density in the city proper and adjacent cities. (Upper Darby ❤️)

Two Israeli Embassy staffers shot dead outside D.C.'s Capital Jewish Museum The gunman shouted "Free Palestine" as he was being arrested, law enforcement officials said.

Best part of the awful weather today is that it completely elevates small talk about weather at the office. people cannot help themselves but mention how bad the weather is

Boston when

City removes bike lane protective barriers - The Boston Globe Where flexible-post bollards once lined green bikeways, there are now empty holes.

"according to the city, the Mass. Ave. flexposts “were removed in response to feedback from community members.”"

Cars parked in bike lane

Flexposts Removed from Arlington Street Bike Lane and now it’s filled with cars.

Now that the trade war has officially begun, reposting this tweet because it seems extremely relevant now

Offense could not be more stacked the next four years

Only 32 contributions from Boston residents at any dollar amount.

To date, Kraft's campaign is roughly 75% funded from outside of Boston.
