Sure, and people like Mr. College Republican are just clamoring for those high paying car wash jobs, right? Just the other day, I heard a bunch of BU students on the T saying “Damn, these illegal immigrants are gonna keep us from getting those fruit-picking and custodial jobs we dream of.”

The Community Preservation Act (CPA) provides money that the City can use for open space and outdoor recreation facilities, historic preservation, and affordable housing. In 2024 Somerville voters increased the property tax surcharge that pays for this program so that more projects can be funded. 🧵

Somerville has become the second city in Massachusetts to eliminate all minimum parking requirements city-wide.
"I think [parking reform] can be a difficult conversation to start, but I really do think that there’s a lot of value in pursuing it.” - Council President @benforward3.bsky.social

Occasional reminder that if a driver hits a pedestrian while going 20 mph, the pedestrian usually lives, while at 40 mph the pedestrian usually dies.
That’s why we focus so much on street layouts that make it hard to drive fast - especially in places with lots of pedestrians.

The harasser still employed at the Somerville Public Library. This. I'm beginning to regret voting for Ballantyne. 😕
i'm sorry, but folks volunteering to keep Somerville's drains clear--you realize the City needs this help b/c DPW is understaffed due to low pay & the mayor stonewalling union negotiations, right?
which makes you (kind-hearted, volunteer) scabs
i love you all, but please understand that

If you joined Bluesky during the Beta, congratulations, you are now officially a Bluesky Elder! You will be assigned a rocking chair, a single cloud to shake a fist at, and a Chesty Gandalf Action Figure and/or Orca pool floatee while supplies last. Enjoy your new, completely inconsequential status!
