Why the FTA should have taken over the MBTA. I give him at most 18 months before he straight-up quits.

I want to say PAX East required masking; at least if the photos of my friends attending is any consideration.

Yep. It's why the State Legislature fought so hard against the FTA taking over. Same reason they're fighting against being audited. Corruption is likely rampant in State Government and MBTA.

I feel that's at least half the reason why the MBTA is so fucked up. Hardly any transparency there either. No surprise why they fought so hard to prevent a federal takeover and the T has only gotten worse since then.

More licenses in more residential neighborhoods means people can walk home from bars and not have to worry as much about Ubers and trains/busses.

Why I rolled my eyes about the Nightlife Czar. Unless Boston gets control over its liquor licenses from the state, you can't change much.

I rather pure snow than wintery mix. I can predict driving in snow. A mix could be hail, rain, and snow; often turning into ice at night.

I feel Toyota had the right idea but wrong application. Hydrogen is the future for the airlines and commercial vehicles, but not for personal vehicles.

Don't you mean Bedford? Hanscom is the big private airport.

That's the kicker. In these low CoL areas, the minimum wage is likely still below $10/hr too.

The boomers ironically will have priced themselves out of the GBA once they retire since they blocked so much housing being built that could have been for them.

Agree. If the State Legislature didn't suck, there would be an inquiry into why it's delayed yet again.
No wonder the MBTA sucks, zero accountability.

Yeah, that's something a lot of people forget about Boston and eastern MA. It's not just the work opportunities in the GBA but so much different nature being close by too.
I definitely take it for granted at times too.
