He supported Michelle Wu for mayor. Then the city put a bike lane in front of his Back Bay mansion. - The Boston Globe

It would be easy to paint Boston construction mogul Jay Cashman as anti-bike lane. He insists he’s not that guy.

Acting like Ralph Cifaretto after he saw The Gladiator, only I keep saying “Hail St. Nick” and asking people “what’s my favorite kind of pussy?”

JD Vance said the government had to deport undocumented immigrants because they increase demand for and thus prices of housing for citizens. What they’ve actually accomplished is to decimate construction of new supply, which will definitely increase prices for everyone

America lost 7k construction jobs in August, and overall job growth in the sector is now at its worst pace since the pandemic

Over the last year, the US has lost 31k jobs in residential construction and only gained 78k jobs in nonresidential & civil construction

Really think a visit during Allston Christmas would turn the entire Fullcast’s opinions of Boston around.

If you don’t live in/around Boston you might not know how much we are getting inundated with Pro-Kraft/anti-Wu ads, but it’s critical context to understanding just how funny this is

Somewhere along the way of the infinite growth, “everything app”-ification of the internet people forgot that a website/app can just be one of the many places you go for information, opinions, engagement, etc

The War on Cars @thewaroncars.bsky.social · Jun 19

"Most of the people who live outside the city drive cars to work. This is far more dangerous than riding the subway. Last year there were 10 murders in the NYC subway system, with well over a billion total rides taken. During the same time period, there were 253 traffic fatalities in New York City."

The Subway Is Not Scary

Fear of the subway is a mark of low moral character.

The Supreme Court ruled that the Equal Protection Clause does not protect everybody equally. Instead it upheld the Tennessee law that seeks to eradicate trans kids.

The Supreme Court's Anti-Trans Decision Will Live In Infamy

In its bigotry and deceitfulness, US v. Skrmetti is destined to be seen alongside Plessy, Dobbs, Dred Scott, and all of the court's other most notorious decisions.
