60% of daily commutes in Boston are not in cars.

In 2014, Congressman Lynch fought against replacing a single-family home in South Boston with 8 homes over parking concerns, even though it provided 14 parking spaces.

Massachusetts has a housing crisis. We need leaders fighting for housing, not politicians fighting to block it.

@EdforBoston @BOSDowntown @dtownboston @bostonpolice @BostonPatrolmen @police_boston @BPSOF @FOPG @Suffolk_U @EmersonCollege @ShrineBoston Like zero tolerance for all crimes, or just the ones you don’t personally like? I think you’d be fine with a car running a red light and nearly hitting a pedestrian, but you’d be completely merciless toward someone loitering in your buddy’s neighborhood.

@JonathanCohn Take the W, but I don’t think the article makes you look bad, despite my bias. Also, there's a big irony in the unbelievably cowardly @EdforBoston being mentioned in an article about a covert Republican.

@johnfgately BREAKING: Massachusetts unemployment rate over the last 13 months mirrors national trends. Suggesting nothing uniquely wrong with our state.

@AlecStapp This graph probably has something to do with it.

[ZichaelBikes @ZichaelBikes]

@sainzcaccia Is it possible to replicate something like this in Boston again or was it just the result of unique stars aligning? What is the playbook?

[ZichaelBikes @ZichaelBikes]

@CGLBoston @BostonGlobe Absolutely agree. The heartlessness and cluelessness of people being okay with this is staggering. It’s incremental—abduct someone, justify it by calling them radical, then push even more extreme dehumanization. When will it stop!?!

@CoynesGastropub Very impressive!

[ZichaelBikes @ZichaelBikes]

@CoynesGastropub Very cool!

@ShaunSulli11684 @ridestheTalot The city’s culture of double parking and blocking bus lanes remains unresolved. Camera enforcement from the Mass Legislature will help, but implementation and adaptation will take time. Bus lanes can be repainted later. At least the city's making data driven changes.

@FortPointer If I asked for a private highway from my door to work, Wu would laugh and call it ridiculous.

Kraft would nod and say sure. I'd feel heard, and he'd tell everyone how great he is at listening.

When you have nothing to offer, placating everyone is a great strategy.

@saikatc That’s a smart idea investing in food science programs to refine egg dehydration and rehydration for baking, paired with a promotional campaign, could significantly benefit the baking industry.

@FortPointer “I understand the needs of the city and have been seriously considering running for almost 2 years”

“Has a study been done to show how many housing units Boston needs?”

“That I can’t answer”

“You’ve given great answers and were hit with some great questions from all across”

[ZichaelBikes @ZichaelBikes]

@FortPointer @PatrickBoz1987 SHHHHHH! We're only supposed to focus on the issues. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.

[ZichaelBikes @ZichaelBikes]

@yhdistyminen There’s a lot to unpack here, but a (maybe minor) issue is the over-attachment to a physical house as “home” rather than a community of people. A four-bedroom house, yet you sleep alone in the living room because you can’t manage the stairs. How did this become okay?

[ZichaelBikes @ZichaelBikes]

@EPrisby @berkie1 NIMBYs exploit the patchwork of zoning laws to block housing where people want to live, leading to costly, time-consuming legal battles. A statewide strat is a slow game, but it's more effective addressing policies directly saves time and resources in the long run. MBTA Com Act

Note to urban planners:

These eight cyclists occupy the space of the single-occupant Kia 5 on the right. The latter is inefficient, expensive, and creates more problems than it solves in cities.
