The canada geese involved in the Cactus 1549 incident were actually migratory. It is the resident ones that are problematic.

> The Smithsonian Institution also performed a stable-hydrogen isotope analysis of the feather material collected from the airplane engines and compared the results with feather samples collected from resident geese in the New York region. The results indicated that the feathers from the airplane engines were similar to samples of known migratory geese and were significantly different from year-round resident populations from the New York region.

If you can't afford to have kids because your house was so expensive what do you care about schools.

I actually don't think it's a problem. Fenway and TD Garden each host 81-82 regular season games and are incredibly easy to get to. It's much more important to have those venues centrally located. Gillette hosts 8 or 9 (excluding the Revs) and does have a rail link to Boston and Providence on Patriots gamedays.

Instead they're building housing there which is an even bigger problem.

I think the way we've done pro sports arenas in Boston is actually pretty good. Fenway and TD Garden are in the city and super convenient. The Red Sox host 81+ home games a year. The Celtics and Bruins host 41+ each too. The Patriots only host 8-9 and the Revs host 17 which isn't really enough to be worth dedicating a lot of land too, but worth having a rail service for on game days. I just wish more big concerts were at Fenway instead of Gillette or at least had a train.

Of course I see this right after shopping at one of these 7-Elevens.

And you received this information at closing?

What the HOA says doesn't really matter, the documents are what counts. You should have received all the condo information before signing the P&S.

Goddamn turkeys hoarding all the good stuff

> note that a better alternative would be to simply not ask the voter registration question for someone who provides the alternative document set for undocumented immigrants. One simple change like that renders the whole issue moot, and we get the benefits of every driver being properly licensed and insured.

Shouldn't this be the workflow today given that people with Green Cards or long-term visas can get a Mass ID/DL but can't vote?

It seemed to me more like a classic New England pragmatism argument to me: "people are gonna do this anyway so we might as well legalize it and give these people access to the insurance market"

That doesn't make any sense. Anyone with a Massachusetts address and a visa allowing them to stay in the US for over 1 year can get a Mass ID/DL today. Lots of foreign students have Mass Liquor IDs because of our archaic alcohol laws even though they don't have permanent residency, not to mention green card holders.

Auto insurance in Mass really isn't that expensive because the are so few deaths and injuries. Paying to fix some twisted metal is way cheaper than injury or death claims.

Yeah, I don't think I saw a single "No on 4" ad.

The Type 7 door open/closed sensors are finicky and the only way to reset them is to restart the whole car.

Why does no one dress up as Elliot Davis instead?

The city needs to have better signage when there is daytime street sweeping on metered streets. People tend to just look at the meter.

The problem isn't the sign, it's that people coming off the Pike get blocked by people going south on Centre Street.
