The people making sacrifices in your comments are the ones that depend on the T, not the MBTA. The idea of taking a failing service that many depend on and increasing pricing while reducing availability and access will result in reduced ridership and quality fo experience.

I don't know how to tell you how unhinged you come across. There are other public transportation systems that have been resurrected through improved management and government intervention... why do you think the T can't be helped without hurting everyone that depends on it?

I had very good cocktails and food at Comfort Kitchen... not a known place at this time but it'll be the location to get the Beacon Hill and Back Bay wealthy to sojourn to Dorchester for the novelty.

The hype is in restaurant circles for the time being but I'm sure the press is coming.

This is bad advice. Are you my mother, lol? The majority of non-single-family homes have HOAs in Boston and the greater Boston area.

I was part of two HOAs where the residents met together and decided how to use funds or adjust the HOA fees and so forth. It was chill. We'd all gather outside and bring a few beers and talk through what we all that was needed and prioritize it. We divvied up work for those that wanted to do something and had them expense items against the HOA if they wanted. It just works as a shared savings account. It also helps to dilute the total cost of major repairs which is also nice. The enforcement of it was also up to the owners...

The better advice is to avoid having shitty members part of the HOA.
