This is a fucking horrific, car centric proposal that has zero public space, zero IZ units, and cuts into wildlife space. There are more parking spots than units. It’s essentially a massive gated community, and exactly the opposite of the types of developments Boston should be planning

I’m pretty sure most of what they’re asking for already exists? There are very detailed traffic circulation and management plans and the city has met with residents about it multiple times

Good. DCR has been operating these roads as highways for the last 50 years and MassDOT has actual design standards for safe pedestrian and bike infrastructure.

Why is D2 incapable of producing a normal city councilor

Mayor Wu flaunts the democratic process to restore a lane that one of her city councilors was mad about, probably. Who knows, they won’t say!

One of the better looking proposals to come out of this section of Allston. Funny what happens when they don’t try to “break up the massing”

Generally, supply is too low. This is true. However, it has been shown in multiple legal cases that landlords have used systems that collude to artificially raise rents

Cuomo stole money from the MTA and contributed to the deaths of elderly people in retirement homes

Under Eng the system has improved by leaps and bounds, nowhere near where it should be but he’s definitely trying

Reminder that the DoD cannot account for 50% of its assets and has never passed an audit

This article completely ignore the TWO YEARS of community outreach they did and the 9 MONTHS of public meetings the city hosted asking for feedback. Heres the 112 page document the city posted about their engagement: www.boston.gov/sites/defaul...

Fair enough. We would like you on the front lines, but I understand your reservations

I understand socialism as a transitionary system to communism that utilizes existing structures to the degree that they’re useful. Many workers states have devolved due to capitalist/imperialist pressure (Cuba, USSR, China) or structural failings from Stalinist ideas (USSR, China)

I’m not simply waiting for the revolution. Following history of workers revolutions tells us how to/not to prepare. The conditions of today are so bleak that a revolution is not far. Events like BLM protests and Luigi Mangione indicate that people are sick of capitalism and existing institutions

Socialism solves the contradictions of capitalism like the private appropriation of the product of social labor. Socialism implements a planned economy which is the opposite of the anarchy of the capitalist market and abolishes private property, which is key to capitalism. They’re pretty opposed

Generally, your interests are not the interests in politicians. Politicians are interested in getting reelected, and doing what they think will get them that while also making as much money from lobbyists as physically possible. Not all the time, but most of the time.

Thanks. The downfall of capitalism is inevitable and socialism implements a true representative democracy where elected officials can be recalled by a simple majority at any time and careerism in politics is extinct. The working class has won much more representative systems in the 1900s

I did, by the way, thanks. The point is the utter inability for systemic change under both parties. From Gore Vidal: “There is only one party in the United States, the Property Party … and it has two right wings: Republican and Democrat.“
