@berkie1 Does this mean it can be back on the ballot in 2 years?
and does this have any positive impact on investor sentiment or do they see the political risk and wait to see how it plays out?

[Jay Parsons @jayparsons]

Only 44 apartment units started construction in Q1'26 across Massachusetts' three largest MSAs.

That's the lowest going back at least 15 years, likely longer.

Why? Rent control doing what rent control does, and it hasn't even passed yet.

@FortPointer Thanks for continuing to expose Ed and his unsubstantiated claims.

Ed listens to the loudest people in the room that he calls his constituents that are only worried about new residents competing for free public parking spaces.

[The Fort Pointer @FortPointer]

Plans for the widening of this sidewalk, among those the founders of FPNA focused on (most memorably, advocacy a decade+ ago by Joe Rogers), entered construction in Feb 2026.

Councilor Flynn has entered the chat. He’s calling for the Congress St Redesign project to be halted.

[The Fort Pointer @FortPointer]

If Broadway had widened sidewalks instead of triple parking, Southie residents could enjoy a street cafe with friends. A center-running #11 bus lane would zip residents downtown and back at peak hours.

Thank Sen Collins and Councilor Flynn for dismissing transportation experts.

@RideBluebikes your move

[Citi Bike @CitiBikeNYC]

Our crews are working very hard to clear snow from stations and prioritize rider safety. We’ll keep everyone posted on reopening timelines. We appreciate your patience!

[Jonathan Berk @berkie1]

New Hampshire Governor @KellyAyotte has signed SB 284 into law which limits municipalities from mandating more than one parking space per new housing unit statewide. The bill was originally introduced by Senator Keith Murphy (R) of Manchester and received bipartisan support.

@BostonBTD Now do Boston!
My parking pass just renews with no fee. That's crazy. We are giving away public space for free.
Either charge for the utility or put it to better use for things like outdoor dining and more public benefits than private car storage.

[Andy Boenau @Boenau]

97% of NYC on-street parking is FREE.

Charging a measly $5/day per space would raise $5 billion annually. Or $10/day to raise $10 billion.

That money could go towards traffic calming, bike lanes, transit improvements... all sorts of good stuff.

[Shaun Sullivan @ShaunSulli11684]

@berkie1 This is the way. Great article.

[Shaun Sullivan @ShaunSulli11684]

Only @MassDOT would build a sidewalk barely 3’ wide and tout it as some great improvement. Only 1/4 mile from Broadway Subway Station @BostonBTD

[sam @sam_d_1995]

it’s kind of crazy that cars kill 200x as many pedestrians as e-bikes but people just accept that as a given. why don’t cars have a 15mph speed limit?

[Shaun Sullivan @ShaunSulli11684]

@JoshKraftBoston Have you had a chance to see how the Copley Sq Farmers Market makes use of the new square.
Pretty sweet. Every Tuesday and Friday 7 months of the year.
Check it out.

[Josh Kraft @JoshKraftBoston]

Like many Bostonians, I was shocked to see the “new” Copley Plaza, consisting of mostly barren open space. It’s grey, soulless and looks like a skateboard park. Where are the trees & green space? More importantly, did the community have input here? Mayor Wu needs to explain what happened #copleyplaza #boston #joshforboston

[Shaun Sullivan @ShaunSulli11684]

@CityOfBoston @BostonBTD @DoITBoston How does the city evaluate other factors in a complex system that involves human behavior such as the potential for induced demand (which would negate any emission reduction), and safety issues with speed and red light running at signaled intersections?

[Jeff Speck @JeffSpeckFAICP]

Thank you @wutrain for the #WalkableCity shoutout at our Urbanists for Wu (WUrbanistas) fundraiser.

[Longyan Luu 🔰🚎🚅🎋🍭 @GeneralLiu1]

Boston suffers from car dependency. Kraft has no interest in alleviating the need for cars. Instead, he wishes to reinforce it! We cannot allow car traffic to continue plaguing our streets. Ride the Wu Train!

[Shaun Sullivan @ShaunSulli11684]

Nice Bike to Work day from Southie.
Is there a better commute than this?

[Shaun Sullivan @ShaunSulli11684]

Unfortunate to see Boston getting so much attention but rightfully so for stopping much needed housing near transit.

Hopefully it will cause the change we desperately need @BostonPlans @EdforBoston stop dictating how many parking spaces new homes require based on feels.

[Andy Boenau @Boenau]

This is so dumb.

[Shaun Sullivan @ShaunSulli11684]

@berkie1 It would probably pay lot in taxes too.
High Value per acre*

[Shaun Sullivan @ShaunSulli11684]

@RonDurk Thanks Sharon,
It is very easy to live in this area without depending on a car for daily transport. Speaking from experience it is a great way to live.

We need more housing for people.
