TubularTittyFrog , in Blue Bottle Coffee Workers Vote 38-4 to Unionize in Boston

Surprised this place is even still in business.

Aphelion ,

Nestle bought the controlling shares of Blue Bottle in 2017, which made me very sad.

dariusj18 , in Mass. will convert former Norfolk prison into a shelter for homeless families

Yeah, they say converting, but that would require significant amount of work and investment of time and resources, which they have no intention of putting in. This is more putting homeless people in prison without having to go through a trial first..

HauntedCupcake ,

As sad as it is, having prison like accommodation without getting a criminal record first, is an improvement

NegativeInf , in Mass. will convert former Norfolk prison into a shelter for homeless families

Can't wait to read the headline where they find all the unmarked graves when they start renovations.

TubularTittyFrog , in So, You Want to Live in Dorchester?

'most affordable'

lol

No_Ones_Slick_Like_Gaston , in Cambridge moves toward elimination of single family–only zoning

NIMBYs go reeeeeeee

unexposedhazard ,

Single family homing is soo destructive and antisocial. Even just dual or triple family homes are so much better for local community development.

Daqu , in So, You Want to Live in Dorchester?

Now all I need is a million dollars.

borebore OP Mod ,

No, you just need to borrow a million dollars and pay interest on that loan until you retire.

Eeyore_Syndrome , (edited ) in The average Boston renter spends 47% of their income on housing. In Seattle, it's 28%. Why?
@Eeyore_Syndrome@sh.itjust.works avatar

I was born in 86'.

So anyway....in 84' Massachusetts abolished rent control and affordable housing essentially. Saved you a read. Our zoning laws are stupid and Zillow owns everything.

It's okay tho, we're not supposed to retire till 67.

SpaceNoodle ,

You were born in eighty-six feet?

Veraxus , in The average Boston renter spends 47% of their income on housing. In Seattle, it's 28%. Why?

I’m in California. Anecdotally, mine is almost exactly 50%. And I don’t even own.
