More cantabridgian exceptionalism in motor vehicle operation
Btw, I just realized that you can upload videos to nextdoor. Feels like an underused medium for trolling. Should I post this video for my neighbors to get together and make good things happen around?
Stop sign at Columbus and Kimball in N Cambridge (directly across from a kid’s park) must be broken or something. Because surely the exceptional drivers of Cambridge would never drive like this!
Not for me, but I do love a fancy bike made for one person’s highly specific and outside-the-mainstream preferences. Serotta Ti mixte for $1600obo shipped from MSP https://www.ebay.com/itm/134481170547?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=w1UH4TTaSKW&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

BREAKING: Out of an abundance of caution, the #MBTA is just going to give people piggy-back rides down Dorchester Avenue until further notice.
When you hand a carpenter a safety-oversight hammer, anything that moves is a nail. If too many things are moving, your carpentry skills are questioned.

Hey Camberville - do we have any Black-owned dispensaries?
An Urban Arrow Shorty, which is too cute for words, with only 45 miles on the clock, for $4k in Seattle https://seattle.craigslist.org/see/bik/d/seattle-urban-arrow-shorty/7596461407.html
My thread from my old instance on the pitfalls of installing curbside EV charging in cities https://better.boston/@bikepedantic/109710484127731944
This problem of EV charging spots getting “ICE’d up” has no good solution, and will be even worse when our cities start charging up curbside parking

Pedestrian fatalities are a public health issue with known racial and geographic disparities. New American Journal of Public Health paper authored by researchers from the Collaborative Sciences Center for Road Safety, de Beaumont Foundation, and UNC Highway Safety Research Center looks at the link between historical redlining policies and inequities in pedestrian fatalities: https://bit.ly/3kWlIIX

"New buildings decrease rents in nearby units by about 6% relative to units slightly farther away or near sites developed later, and they increase in-migration from low-income areas. We show that new buildings absorb many high-income households and increase the local housing stock substantially." https://direct.mit.edu/rest/article/105/2/359/100977/Local-Effects-of-Large-New-Apartment-Buildings-in #housing
I don’t usually highlight good deals outside the USA, but £650 (~$775USD) for an older acoustic Bullitt (in Cardiff UK) is a scorching great deal. https://www.facebook.com/groups/BullittUniversalOwners/permalink/3344094939184398/?mibextid=S66gvF
Could someone please untoggle me from “cries at multiple points during ‘Despicable Me 2’ mode,” TIA
Acoustic Bullitt with homemade box in Atlanta GA for $3250. Not a great price, but probably a rare bird in ATL, worth keeping an eye on. https://www.facebook.com/groups/onlineswap/permalink/6084571144991583/?sale_post_id=6084571144991583

Trying to imagine what anti-government people would say if the government had ever wasted as much money with as little return to show for it as the private sector has spent developing robotaxis in the last decade
