the latest faux opportunity in local #affordable #housing with a little artwashing and alt-transit-washing added in for good measure

how is 139 bike parking spaces or "artist" apartments going to do any good if none of us have made a living wage for YEARS and we cant safely ride from east boston to any other part of the city?

With #news from @BostonGlobe that a big project near Andrew Square will see the #BPDA on Tuesday evening (tonight) I want to point out the huge need to consider #transportation. This is next to a significant T stop and near so many things. Personal motor vehicle storage needs to be at the BOTTOM of the priority list. Focus on better modes of getting around. https://mass.streetsblog.org/2021/03/04/boston-plots-complete-streets-upgrades-for-andrew-square-neighborhood/
Don’t miss this major opportunity to have a better #Boston.

Got stood up on a date, so I got takeout and tuned into a #BPDA public meeting about an affordable housing development in my area.  

It was at least as entertaining as the date would have been.

It's widely agreed that Boston is in the midst of a housing crisis, and faces dire consequences from the climate crisis. And yet, its planning agency, the #BPDA, continues to sign off on projects that include more parking spaces for cars than homes for people:
