I have seen people praise it and try to claim it’s just like past renovations. This graphic is floating around. I can no longer tell if people are being intentionally obtuse.

A CHILD was run over and it looks like the driver attempted to flee, but the child gets charged. To add insult to injury the police don’t even seem to know e-bike laws.

Had this happen recently around the corner from my house! She had a medical emergency but how tf do you end up flipping your car in that scenario? Does this happen in other countries?
It also brings up the issue of how elderly folks are still driving when they shouldn’t be due to car dependency...

We have asphalt sidewalks in Massachusetts and I absolutely hate them. They’re typically much bumpier and just…look bad. I think asphalt also encourages ppl to park up on the sidewalk (see below).
Asphalt is better for dealing with large tree roots though; I’ll give it that.

It seems bad that planning staff is supportive of restrictive zoning practices & making baseless claims that townhouses would negatively impact SFHs.
The “negative impact”? The THs are 45’ tall & the SFHs are 35’.
