"Americans are rightly frustrated about the high cost of housing. Fortunately, the country has decades of evidence about how to bring down those costs: We need to build more homes." - @nytimes Editorial Board
🚨NEW: Father of two died after getting trapped in a Boston subway station escalator while more than a dozen people walked past him without helping
Steven McCluskey, 40, lost his balance while going down an escalator at Davis Station in Somerville just before 5 a.m. on February 27
Surveillance video shows his coat getting caught in the escalator as he desperately tried to free himself
As the fabric tightened around his neck, McCluskey eventually collapsed at the bottom of the escalator
Video released by the MBTA shows multiple people walking past him without stopping to help, including one man who watched briefly before walking away
An employee finally stopped the escalator more than 20 minutes later before medics arrived and performed CPR
"If Marblehead residents are being pricks, however, it's because the state law enables them to be pricks... If [Massachusetts] actually wants to build more homes, it needs to prick-proof its housing policy." @christianbrits
@berkie1 I’m convinced people don’t understand the math and money behind IZ. Bike lanes? It’s much easier to digest and see. So if you’re not a biker then “bike lane bad”.
@journal5678@CatchyUser4@Louis_Capital@WSJ Look, believe whatever you like, but you’re out of touch with what’s happening here and the market itself. I’m boots on the ground every day in real estate and helping people with housing needs.
@journal5678@Louis_Capital@WSJ Healy wasn’t even governor when this was passed. Do you see what I mean about how you’re out of touch? I’m not a Healy defender or supporter but you sound like the town drunk rambling on about Healy.
@journal5678@Louis_Capital@WSJ I’m sorry, you were you not talking about how marblehead has people on fixed incomes living there? The very people that would benefit from more housing. All the stuff about Healey may be well and true, but it’s neither here nor there.
@Louis_Capital@brusil@WSJ Given that so many young working people are moving out of Massachusetts, what sort of culture will it have in the future? Places that care about their culture, find ways for young families to find housing and to create new businesses
