@salimfurth yeah, I think if you’re looking for real sustained price drops that would not surprise me

I would challenge the committee to come up with a list of places that build this little housing and also have low housing prices. are those places we want to emulate?

There’s a new 2+ min slow zone on the Red Line but you wouldn’t know it from the T, who shut down their Speed Restriction dashboard

if you asked the average Bostonian where the “Ladder District” is they would tell you to go fuck yourself. hard to find a neighborhood less real than fort point

You have to own and be a resident prior to the start of the tax year (and even that is a recent improvement) to get the exemption. So you buy in Oct ‘23, you can’t get the exemption until the FY25 tax year that starts 7/1/24

Huh, a T service diversion for MassDOT work. I wonder who’s paying for the shuttles?

compared to 2021, delays are way down, primarily due to a decrease in train issues. but signal issues and disabled trains are still the top contributors

@scribblesonnapk @MBTA You got a particular project (set) in mind?

@2thegreat166318 those are trip times for a comparable route in Boston

@thetinyelf this is a comparison of Sundays
