Maura Healey unveiled her latest plan to tackle Massachusetts’ housing crisis: Fewer staircases - The Boston Globe
Fire codes have long required two staircases in mid-rise apartment buildings. But advocates worry that drives up construction costs. So the state will study doing away with one.

This article by @boston.com mentions this interview with @wutrain.bsky.social. I listened to it as well and she simply ignored the question. #BikesAreTransportation and we've been shut down for weeks while the city pretends we don't exist. We exist!

in fact you do not have to show your ID when you board a train in the united states, you only need to show your ticket (which can be purchased without an ID)
Markwayne Mullin defends "show me your papers": "If you're here legally, there's nothing to hide. Most people already are walking around with a government-issued ID, meaning your Real ID or your driver's license. If you go board a train here, you gotta show your ID."

Make that TWO shutouts for Aerin Frankel! Facing 20 shots on net and allowing none, she helped fortify Team USA’s 5-0 win over Canada — making her the first goaltender to shut out the Canadian women’s ice hockey team in Olympic history.

Truly a bummer that the city,
1. Contracted street plows that rammed the bike lane bollards over on Western Ave in Brighton
2. Didn’t even fully clear the bike lanes of the snow anyway
3. Didn’t use small plows to correctly clear the bike lanes leaving them safe and usable

My ebike got me back on a bike, helped me get further (and especially up bigger hills) than I could under my own steam when I was well, helped me rehab after short periods of illness, and makes cycling for both leisure and transport far more accessible to me when my chronic illness symptoms allow.
It really annoys me that the moral panic over e-bikes obscures the incredible impact they have had for disabled people.
This. For the disabled they are a vital tool, and without mine, I am housebound. The inherent ableism infuriates me, especially since I am a careful rider. In every incident I have been in, and there are very few, I was the victim not the cause. Every time.
