Comment on: 'Make Boston bicycle-free'
The other day in Downtown Crossing, I saw a bicyclist riding down the pedestrian-only part of Washington St, cutting off a blind woman trying to cross. I hope karma gets that guy soon. There are many more »

Comment on: 'Behind the increase: Why Netflix is raising prices'
They're also cutting the price for people who only want streaming, or only want DVDs. I used to pay $9.99 for DVDs and streaming, the latter of which I never used. Now I will pay $7.99 just for the DV more »

Comment on: 'Menino threatens to quit plan targeting crime by immigrants'
So wait, it's not enough that they are here illegally. Now, we shouldn't deport those who "only" commit petty crimes? We should have a zero tolerance policy for those who are here illegally. I underst more »

Comment on: 'Going on vacation is stressful... if you are not plugged in and charged up'

Comment on: 'Rent aid ending, Fenway tenants fret'
@Reese: Until a few years ago I made $8 an hour...I had roommates! Sure, it would've been nice to live alone, but I couldn't afford it, and no one was subsidizing me... I agree we should provide housi more »

Comment on: 'Once again, delays leave MBTA riders out in cold'
I have been really frustrated with the T the last couple days--and just in general. But that one MBTA rider who claims it normally takes her 25 minutes to get from Quincy Center to Oak Grove: Are you more »

Comment on: 'T rail lines to test ‘
From the article: "While tactful peer pressure can help preserve quiet, SEPTA frowns on those who accost noisy first-timers unfamiliar with the rules, or who file written complaints about crying babie more »

Thank you, Senators!
--From a generally liberal voter who wants the illegals OUT. more » -
Comment on: 'Patrick blasts immigration crackdowns'
I'm liberal on most issues. All Patrick is doing with statements like this is giving me reasons not to vote for him. And there are more people like me than you'd think. more »

Forum Post: Qdoba lot replacement
Kmcmasters: No offense, but I'm not sure how the Friendly's can be considered out of place when it's replacing another chain (which had itself replaced a McDonald's). It seems like, these days, Coolid more »

Forum Post: What do you love about Quincy?
I love that it takes me 20 minutes by subway to get downtown, yet I'm also a 15 minute walk from the beach. I love neighborhoods like Merrymount filled with well-preserved, older homes. I love that my more »

Comment on: 'Quincy plan would close major street, create new pedestrian mall'
I live in Quincy and agree with a lot of the comments here. n00b: I agree that the homeless can be a problem, but there are lots of homeless people in Copley Square too, yet tourists and locals hang o more »

Comment on: 'Immigrant students seek meeting with Brown'
I understand that deporting all the illegal immigrants may not be feasible. But they certainly shouldn't get breaks that LEGAL citizens of other US states don't get. And they certainly shouldn't be ta more »

Comment on: 'Iconic ice-cream chain faces bankruptcy, anger'
I wish the article had mentioned which restaurants are closing and which are independently owned and remain open. As far as I know, the one in my Quincy neighborhood is not closing. more »

Comment on: 'Man, 24, fatally stabbed in Brighton'
For goodness's sake, Boston Globe. Yesterday you reported a stabbing in Brighton and I forgave you for it, figuring it would be fixed in the print edition. This is nowhere near the Allston/Brighton bo more »

Comment on: 'Inspection, assurances after Red Line warning'
I'm not a Republican and voted for Patrick, but he comes off as really obstinate here. We cannot build Green Line and commuter rail extensions when the infrastructure is crumbling, we have possibly im more »

Comment on: 'Barriers to abortion rise, even in Brookline'
