Wow, you are extremely late at planning this…best of luck

This may be unique to me, but in my experience rental brokers were 100% useless.

I was finding all the apartments myself, all they did was email the listing agent to schedule a showing.

Things to note:

Noise: • The train engines run all night long so you’ll hearing humming and noise from the yard.

• Green line runs right by it now so you’ll want to be as high up as possible of you face that direction, same goes for note above.

• Construction still going on around the area. In terms of neighbors it’s luck of the draw, my area is quiet, but others seem loud.

• the property is maintained pretty well, maintenance staff is great.

• concierges are hit or miss: they’ll leave for long periods of time, they won’t scan in your packages (which then notifies you something came in) or they’ll take 2 days to process your packages. A lot of them act like your bothering them, but they turnover a lot so it changes.

• I constantly flag concerns over safety/security, people will leave random doors propped open to the building and garage.

• Mgmt is basically non-responsive, we had issues with neighbors (leaving trash in the hall, bikes/scooters in hall, leaving their door open when they cooked, kids screaming/playing in the hall) and mgmt did nothing.

• overall it’s not terrible, we got/have a decent deal and a bigger 1 bd unit, but had we not gotten lucky now with better neighbors we would have left.

Been using starry for 3+ years. I was using their $50 plan which on special went down to $25 over the summer. The lag got so bad recently that I had to upgrade to their $65 plan, no issues so far and no speed issues.

This is a generalization, but having worked with many of the top firms (MBB and more) - over the last 15+ years as a client, it’s mostly bullshit.

Insane amount of billable hours that solve literally nothing. They’re great at creating work that nobody asked for and convincing upper management it was necessary.

It had nothing to do with transportation/congestion it was the idiot cops that decided it made sense to stop both lanes of traffic because people were trying to pull into the garage.

Right lane turns into the garage, left lane we are all going straight, why stop both.

Ah right I forgot the completely reliable T goes absolutely everywhere in the state, I should have done that.

Ya obviously I’m not driving from Cambridge to the Museum of Science.

What is being done to your car that buying a $5k second car is a viable option?

Agree on Pagu, had much higher expectations. One of the dishes was great, the others not so much, wanted better consistency with the quality given the hype and price.

Depends on your definition of affordable. There are a number of hotels right near the Garden. A 20 min walk away in Cambridge is a Hampton Inn, Fairfield Inn and Holiday Inn all next to each other.

Those darn kids, I bet they won’t stay off your lawn either.

1. Don’t admit to looking at google maps, driving above the speed limit etc, never admit or say anything just exchange info.

2. Never heard of a fire dept having anything to do with a car assessment. Your insurance will compare cost of repair vs. value of car and determine if it’s “totaled”

3. Probably delete this post where you admit to being a distracted driver that was speeding and is likely at fault for damage to both cars in front if you hit car 2 sending it into car 1.

It’s more than likely, but not 100% automatic, I know from experience, but in this case yes.

Bone stock jeep wrangler that has never left the pavement with a spare tire cover that is “problem / not a problem” or “it’s a jeep thing”

As someone that worked at cvs and other retail stores 15-20 yrs ago, even back then, we’d call the cops after stopping shoplifters, they’d show up 5-6 hours after the call. You’d just sit there awkwardly waiting for a bit until you just let them go.

Not worth the hassle and head office didn’t want employees getting involved.

Are you new to google?

Driving from NJ to Boston to then be told to park at a walmart (Quincy, Saugus, none of them are close) and uber over is ridiculous. Just pay the garage fee, you live in Beacon Hill what did you expect.

They’ll just apply your return ticket to the one they are flying you back plus change fee and additional costs, I believe it’s in their terms and agreements.

Interesting they didn’t let you board, not sure if things have changed, but I had a similar situation traveling from US abroad. They told me they’d absolutely let me fly out, but it’s up to the receiving country to decide to let you in or make you leave immediately, no guarantees, had to cancel my trip.

Sounds like it hit a nerve. Are you experiencing a little self reflection.

Someone telling you that you can’t sit on an open couch because they’re saving it for their friends, while also having their husband lay jackets on other open chairs, is an overly privileged white Karen to me.

FYI a lot of places in Boston had lines starting at 8:30. Definitely check ahead if you can

Ignore the boomers, they still think it’s 1986

Great deal considering the parking
