The whining about panhandling makes it clear what's happening. The tech people from SF have brought their awful values here with them. Thanks a lot. Nothing has changed other than that and rents.

Like a storm event significant enough to cause flooding in the area?

Umm, are we drinking it? Isn't Fresh Pond one of the reservoirs and right next to there?

I think it really depends on how it's done. Most residential neighborhoods don't have much of any foot traffic unless they have retail/restaurant/services there. And if you look at the places with luxury buildings they've recently built (e.g. over in the Kendall area), those places are dead zones except where there's ground level retail space.

The only plausible way to bring down rents for small local business is more space.

Well, that's not strictly the case. There are large dorms and high rise apartment buildings on the abutting blocks, and that -- as you say -- is still a ghost town.

How do we ensure that the high-rises that are developed don't produce dead-zone neighborhoods like University Park? We really need neighborhoods that can support healthy levels of foot traffic for ground floor restaurants, grocery, retail, and other local services. Having useful commercial services right on the block is key to making a neighborhood feel organic and limiting unnecessary burden on our overstressed transport infrastructure. Will the tall buildings they build include ground floor mixed-use?
Edit: And adding supply of retail space would help ease the burden on local shops and restaurants struggling to keep up with their commercial rents.

OK, I think you're speaking a slightly different language here with terms and accusations I don't really understand -- or I don't understand how they're pertinent. I think maybe it's gotten too unhinged to continue onward with this conversation really. Good luck with your bicycles.

Who's giving them a pass? But if you think you're some kind of bicycle vigilante Batman who we need to enforce the law through daily conflict while straddling your 19th century contraption, I can assure you that this scenario is not something the public demands. Just give it a rest, man.

Hey, it's your life. I'm not a two ton object that needs to be convinced. I'm sometimes on a bike but not trying to get into a pissing contest with cars, as you seem to be. I yield and let them go. Why would you want to be an obstacle? Just sounds like you're making things unsafe for yourself to prove a point. That's not going to help much if you get hurt. Please stay safe. Your bike is an ancient technology with no safety features of any kind.

I can't really debate you on the speed limits on particular roads on which you've experienced this, not knowing really anything other than what you claim. I just think what you're doing is wildly not-smart and your misdirection into this little vignette makes clear that safety is not what you've really optimized on when cycling. You're having a game of chicken with a two ton object, which seems unwise. I can see how this is causing you conflicts on the road and how you would get upset, but I fear you're just being quite immature about the whole thing.

If you're blocking a car lane with your bicycle on a road, you're making a huge mistake. That's not safe or smart, and I'm not surprised you run into conflicts with drivers if you cycle around with that competitive attitude about space on the road. This conflict you're having with heavy moving objects makes very little sense.

Please. There's no mob on the internet arguing that drivers are right to break traffic laws, or that tax cheats are right to lie on their returns, or that landlords are right to do construction without permits, etc., etc. There are many self-interested behaviors in society that are prevalent, but nobody is standing up claiming to be righteous in breaking the law for selfish purpose... Except one guy who lives in Florida and won't STFU.
