I had to submit vaccination records when I was renting, and I think that's not entirely unheard of.

Reply to comment by ToadScoper in Transit experts say new MBTA general manager will 'fail' without more resources by ToadScoper
Well if we follow the trajectory of any previous MBTA failure, clearly the solution is to appoint another control board to oversee this control board.

Reply to comment by TheAnarchistMonarch in What are the best dog parks in the Cambridge/Somerville area? by TheAnarchistMonarch
FYI, that place gets rowdy. I have a reactive dog so we walk by there for training sometimes, and the playing is intense. Just a heads up in case your dog isn’t a social butterfly

i would recommend checking out chelsea, revere, east boston, and everett.
i grew up in revere and have been living in chelsea for the past 3 years, my apartment isn’t the biggest but i pay $1,800 + utilities - so a little over $2k a month.
i work in cambridge and being in chelsea you have the option to go direct to the blue line via the 116 or 117 bus route or you can go directly to haymarket station which is close to the financial district via the 111 depending on what part of chelsea you’re in. the silver line is next to the commuter rail station. the silver line brings you right into south station and the commuter rail brings you to north station. my commute rarely takes over an hour (give or take on the day)
chelsea is a very walkable city, however it gets a lot of flack for how “urban” it is. i’ve never felt unsafe walking around chelsea at any point of the day/night. lots of great locally owned restaurants if you like south american food. east boston is very close by and has great views of the city (visit jeffries point)
hope this helps!
edit** if you do not want to pay brokers fees, i’d recommend checking facebook market place or craigslist, you’re able to filter ‘no fees.’ i found my apartment through fb marketplace and connected directly with the landlord, no fees at all! it gives you the benefit of connecting with them directly. i’ve been lucky enough to not have my rent raised since i’ve moved in so i hope that can be the same for you!

> preferably with no broker fee
So in other words, you're in search of a Unicorn.
Also, people will poo poo the "$2k" rent budget, but it's doable. You'll just have to take your expectations and knock them down a peg, and then another peg.
You're looking at older buildings resulting in higher utility bills, no laundry on site, constantly having to force your landlord to fix broken things, etc.
If you're serious with your budget and location requirements, you guys should just bite the bullet and share a 2-3 bedroom with two other people.

You mean that you guys are looking to pay $2k for a bedroom in a 3BR apartment, right? Also, these days 40 minutes away from the financial district is only like 3 T stops..

Tolerated across the whole city. Certain places definitely get a worse case of it. Boylston going through Fenway always feels like a 1 lane road rather than 2

>Haha ah well as much as I'd love to be fighting off women, I can't justify booking a holiday solely for that reason.
Go to Colombia and you might rethink that stance.
Also, for hiking, there's the Blue Hills Reservation in Milton/Canton. Not super expansive or anything, but great considering it's proximity to the city and MBTA access.

This would be my vote. And for some reason American Robins are more prone to leucism than others bird species.
