Ayanna Pressley, the YIMBY? The congresswoman has endorsed the @abettercambr1dge.bsky.social backed City Council incumbents in Tuesday's election, all of whom voted for that monumental citywide multifamily zoning reform earlier this year. Via @politico.com

Wow, I was just served this ad on another platform. The geography here - I didn't realize Dorchester was southwest of Brookline.

Thanks to @boston25news.com for having me on Thursday to talk about the extreme housing shortage in MA, & placing the work some communities are doing to promote office to residential conversion in context of our need to build many more homes statewide.

You're definitely doing something wrong when your "reporting" generates these types of racist comments

MA Executive Office of Housing & Livable Communities has filed emergency regulations to enforce the MBTA Communities Act as a result of last week's SJC ruling that deems the law constitutional and enforceable by the Attorney General. The regs are effective immediately.

The 194th General Court of the Massachusetts legislature has begun the people's work. Gotta say though, I'm more of a Roxbury Puddingstone guy myself.

Big zoning reform news coming...Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court set to release decision at 10am today in @massago.bsky.social lawsuit against the Town of Milton for violation of the MBTA Communities Act multifamily zoning mandate

Price gouging at Logan. Got this trash egg and cheese "panini" and a Kind bar for $17. Far worse quality than a Dunkin egg & cheese (still no Tatte at Logan), but I didn't want to wait in that line. Definitely should have.

I'm a big fan of pickles generally but this is just, no...I'm sorry, no.

But seriously, get your tickets quick! The venue has a strict limit and we're nearing capacity so once we're sold out they're gone, and no walk-ins will be allowed day of.

Go. Buy. Now

Probably time for Temple Emunah to take any reference to being an "inclusive and welcoming" congregation off their website and any other collateral

I'm kind of shocked to learn that Nantucket of all places has the largest percentage of trick-or-treating aged kids in Mass. @axios.com
