Reply to comment by charons-voyage in My car got towed on Columbus Avenue in the South End this morning, presumably for street cleaning. I was parked for 45 minutes and there was no sign about street cleaning where I parked. I even paid for the parking on the Park Boston app, which did not warn me. Is there anything I can do? by kzy888
how? tow companies bid for the city contracts and its a transparent process.

the transportation department authorizes the tows and has to ticket the cars before tow companies can tow them for street sweeping. how are they parasites for doing a job the city asked them to do?

nope, your responsibility to look for signs and park correctly. theres probably a sign further down the block
sucks but thats the way it goes

Reply to comment by UltimateZo in Boston Healthcare System Total Garbage? by UltimateZo
im not insinuating anything, i stated a fact. mass general is one of the best hospitals in the world and you expect to get a neurology appointment there in short order? its like asking why you cant get a friday reservation at carbone when applebees in des moines always has openings
also you realize the boston metro area is around 5 million people right? why compare san frans metro area to bostons city population?

and “settling” is not a failure
a person who does an honest job and provides for their loved ones is not a failure and has not “settled” even if life dealt them a tough hand

growth without also scaling up infrastructure and housing is not great for cities. see: boston

its not like boston has an insanely high unemployment rate
on some level, i kind of agree. what we really need is to increase wages for residents. luring new people to the area with high paying jobs helps residents…how?

Reply to comment by illvm in Lockdown at MFA Boston by mawiiissa
ive said it before and ill say it again, ill never understand why the city was criticized in this incident. these guys put up small led devices with batteries and wires on 93 and other bridges, told no one about it, and then knew about the response and still didnt alert authorities that it was just a marketing campaign
just because a cartoon character was on it doesnt mean it couldnt have been something sinister, cartoon network and their marketing team were 100% responsible

yeah its too bad people dont want to have a legitimate conversation on it, im fully vaxxed with a booster and encourage everyone to get it but the complete disregard for workers rights was always such a shaky decision
this place is super pro union but blasted the firefighters union for being anti mandate
Yak_Rodeo t1_itrfsvj wrote
vaccine mandates were well intentioned but an utter failure. new york is going to have to reinstate a bunch of people who were fired and back pay them from the date of firing, a huge pay day.
im far from an anti vaxer but the scientific evidence wasnt there to justify firing people

you can put whatever you want on a mailing address for anywhere, the post office doesnt care what you call the city. just the street address and zip

also dorchester is not much more “city life” than quincy. in most other cities quincy would be a neighborhood of boston
