Reply to comment by Maxpowr9 in ‘A housing market for almost no one’: Rising prices and interest rates have made home buying feel impossible - The Boston Globe by uxd
Yeah, I don't get giving seniors a break on property taxes. Old people own all the damn property. Give young people who own nothing a break. If an old person is struggling to pay property taxes then they bought something they couldn't afford. They can get a roommate to help pay expenses. That is what they tell young people to do.

Buses should be free. It makes boarding so much quicker.

Put a toll on the bridge. One for boats, one for cars. The bridge should be paid for by the people who use it.

To spin off of that, Middleborough's town character would be a cop who faked an injury to get disability and spends his day beating his wife.

But then more people drive which means more pollution, traffic, noise and drivers taking up valuable space in the city. Its better if the state just gives them less money than towns that do comply.

Drivers create potholes and refuse to pay more than a few pennies for gas tax yet still complain. Massachusetts drivers get hundreds of millions in hand outs and think they are somehow the ones getting screwed.

Oh no an elementary school! Can't have housing near one of those! Everyone knows putting a new building by an elementary school causes 100% of those kids to start doing hardcore drugs immediately!

This is America, where only drivers get things for free and somehow country music is popular. It's depressing.

A coin flip? A tiny percentage of commuter rail trips are cancelled and you are spreading lies by saying its 50%.

So you're answer is that non drivers should give millions every year to drivers because drivers are too cheap to pay for the roads they use? The more someone drives the more welfare they get. No wonder we have so much traffic and pollution. Our ridiculously low gas tax and free parking encourages people to clog up the roads and pollute the air.

Again, she is the mayor of Boston, not the mayor of Lynn or the governor of Massachusetts. She is fighting for her constituents. Whats pretty funny is you not understanding that.

If you stay in Boston get a hotel near North Station so you can easily catch the train to Salem. Don't drive. It'll cost more money and the train is quicker.
