I bike around Boston and write shitty code.
It’s a fucking parking lot. People need to get over themselves. Build the housing, dammit!
Opponents say it's about saving a forest but it's the same old NIMBYism: "Ultimately, many residents simply don’t want a big housing development there ... And that a large apartment complex would be out of character in a suburban neighborhood known for larger single-family homes."
The state wants to build housing on a parking lot in Wellesley. Residents are up in arms. - The Boston Globe
A proposal to build apartments near MassBay Community College has sparked a local backlash, illustrating how housing can be immensely complicated in Massachusetts.

For the record: I don’t give a shit about my investment portfolio and retirement account performance when rapists and pedophiles are being protected by the Trump administration. I would rather retire penniless in a country that holds power to account than be rich in one that shields the wretched.

I’ll be in the road even if the DOW is under 50,000, but at least now I have an excuse that the administration will see as valid!

@gravelinfluencer.bsky.social I can't comment on your posts but you recently made one about visiting Minnesota once this is all over. Apparently Alex was a mountain biker. I think cycling in MN would be a great way to honor his memory!

They unloaded an entire magazine into him while he was pinned on the ground, after disarming from his firearm that was secured in a holster. Even if the victim was a threat, he had been incapacitated by the time he was shot. This was murder. This was a public execution by ICE.

Pulled up to a coffee shop with @malaclypse.bsky.social to find a couple locking up their bike and they said, "Yay! More bikers!" When has anyone in a parking lot ever said, "Yay! More drivers!"

What if Boston made it safe enough to bike to any neighborhood so you don't have to be afraid of car drivers?

One intersection that bugs me every time I go through it is Amory and Green. Why is there no LPI literally at a T station? Pedestrians should be prioritized everywhere in Boston but particularly in high pedestrian areas like a T station. @jfh01.bsky.social @sofio.bsky.social #ArriveAlive

Riding a BlueBike to work took a whopping 21 minutes, up from 20 minutes in a sunny day! But sure, it’s the bike lanes causing traffic on our highways, definitely not the number of cars 🙄
Morning Grid-Lock Commute into Boston from South Shore and Mass Pike. Josh Kraft thinks he will solve this by removing the bike lanes in the City.
