I've noticed the signs are only incorrect if you don't know what they mean.. tbh, this sounds like more like an angry email to massport than a reddit post.

That's the guy that used to sleep under the footbridge on the other side of the street.

>Building maintenance in US cities is not a big priority.

As someone who has been employed full time in a US city as a building maintenance person, I disagree.

They can ticket you for "operating an unsafe vehicle," but I don't know if they could pull you over for it, or what the penalty would be (towed from the scene?).

Correct, if it's a red "R," the problem must be fixed immediately, but you have 60 days to get it re-inspected.

Good luck. I don't think you're going to have much luck convincing people that Boston needs less jobs, but I salute your effort.

If you can't trust a man named "Swindle," who can you trust??!

Strange.. we don't have them in Stoneham, so it's not a Middlesex thing..

Mickeys hand grenades were small, and haffenreffer came in 16oz bottles (and 12oz bottles as well I think). I have no idea if any of those things exist anymore though.

indeed.. for the uninitiated, I always suggest pairing the MD 20/20 Banana Red with a package of Strawberry Pop Rocks under the stars on a summer evening, or even with friends around a fire pit once the leaves have begun to turn..

you forgot to put "gf" in quotes.

>2 40s of MD20/20

ummmm.. MD20/20 is "wine."

yes. if you do it online it will ask which library you want to pick it up at. As to how long it will take, it's totally up in the air. I've had it take a week, and I've had it take six weeks.

I feel like you're missing a sentence or two here...

>And fits any budget.

Thank you Charles Shaw!!!

Personally, I have no advice other than have a trusted friend out here who can do the legwork for you (and don't trust someone you met online). It's a tough market and the scammers know it.

Someone else in the sub may have better advice, tho..

in person. that's the only way to avoid scammers. You can do the preliminary search online, but never send anyone a penny until they show you the inside of the place in person. Not over zoom, not over facetime, and not even if you walk by the place and see the "for rent" sign on it. Sometimes they string you along for a while to get you really excited about a place and then tell you you'll need to pay them a little money, or else they'll rent it to someone waiting in their office right now with cash. don't fall for it.

Also, the #1 rule to remember (especially in boston housing), is that if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

congrats. you're now a horse.

put a sign on it that says "$10 obo." It will be gone in a day or two.

fwiw, if you're looking for housing in/around boston without being in/around boston, it's highly likely your going to get scammed. scammers can smell you coming from a mile away, and they know tricks you haven't even imagined yet.

"Hillaria" Baldwin is from Boston, just watch a few of her clips.. oh wait, you mean you want a real Spanish accent??

I like the way you call the uber parking lane "the bike lane." I hope that catches on.
