Bostonians who think their next property-tax bills seem ludicrous can thank Nick Collins; but some city councilors want to hold Wu administration to account

A little wandering and exploration in Savin Hill in Dorchester. Not the Stabbing Hill any more. Great view of downtown Boston (should’ve stopped to snap a pic)

If you want to build a city for people, you have to start by talking to the people who already live in your city.

This graphic from the #Boston Planning Department brilliantly shows over-reliance on white, older, long-term homeowners to provide " #community " input even when communities are made up of non-white, younger renters.

#urbanism #housing #cities #yimby @maxdubler

Chart showing who shows up for "Citizen Participation" sessions in Boson in terms of White/Non-White, Homeowner/Renter, Over 55/Under 55, Long-term/Newer resident.

Unsurprisingly, for anyone who has worked in planning outreach, the participants heavily skew to old, white, homeowners.

North end Saint Anthony’s Feast

Very crowded, a lot of vendors providing the following food:

- pizza
- stuffed rice balls, which I didn’t know is Italian food?
- Italian sub with sausage
- cannoli
- gelato
- $10 lemonade LOL

And cigars OMG the smell I hated

But the food we got was all delicious and the vibe was great. I also had some raw cherry stone clams but I’m still not sure if it’s a right decision to eat raw seafood from street vendors 😂

Entertaining comments in tonight's virtual hearing on new protected bike lanes in Back Bay #Boston #biketooter

A screenshot of a Zoom chat reads:

Breanna Richards to Everyone: "This bike lane will greatly change the appearance of Dartmouth street and the preservation of historical back bay. Who from the Dartmouth residents voted for this? | live on Dartmouth and Marlborough and this will likely change the value of the mansions here"

A response from Micah Smith:
"Sorry about the value of your mansion"

A little bit of mixed modes today:

Grabbed a blue bike at 4:43pm and rode to the Apple store in East Cambridge from Kendall.

At 4:57pm I got the iPad mini I ordered for Josh and grabbed another blue bike riding to Park St to catch the red line train.

At 5:10pm I was waiting for the train.

Literally no other mode of transportation could be this efficient and easy around the city.

I know it’s fun to hate on the T but man have they made progress. Got off my (early!) Amtrak train and went down to the Red Line. Train to Davis showed up within 30 seconds. The Red Line moved smoothly and quickly. Get to Davis and my bus home shows up in 3 minutes. We are getting close to having a fully functional transit system again. #mbta #boston

The whole city of Boston has only one DC fast charger that’s >= 100kw and it’s almost always full - it’s pretty close to where I live though.

City of Boston should do better. Install DC fast chargers on city owned lots.
