They shut off TWT traffic coming from Logan last night due to complete gridlock. Second time in a week I had to take a detour through Revere to go south! What a cluster.

Reply to Don’t drag Boston backward with rent control - The Boston Globe by boston4923

The old timers will tell you: say no to rent control. It doesn’t work the way you hope it will. Why not institute price controls across the board? Why not medical and educational price controls?? It’s a valid question: why not just decree everything has to be affordable? The cascading consequences of price controls are complex and ripple through real people. Those with knowledge, money and power will ultimately benefit most, while the rest will bear the cost. Look at how rent control has played out everywhere in the US, including Boston. It was an unmitigated disaster here.

Many look at Singapore as a good example of government fixing a housing problem but after decades, this is also being reexamined as there have been lots of unintended consequences.

I had no idea you could turn a virtual monopoly and a guaranteed mathematical advantage into minus billions, but I probably just don’t understand the financial Kung fu going on behind the scenes with the sale and lease back.

I grew up hearing horror stories about a relative losing a fortune to gambling. It’s that one vice that can outspend any other. Check out Terrance Watanabe’s story for example. I personally believe gambling should be regulated and legal. It’s a tax on folks that fall into the trap. It’s not anything to be celebrated.
