Drinking alcohol really isn’t worth the trouble.

The further from nearby colleges you are, the better. All due respect to you and other aspiring McLovins but liquor stores in college towns know they've got thousands of 18-20 year old kids and are expecting it.

I haven't heard of anyone busting a liquor store specifically for this but the cops have definitely sent a 19 year old kid to bust bars for this. I've seen other college towns (specifically Worcester) do the same to liquor stores.

“Noisy students” a block off of Thayer, give me an ever loving break

Who would ever want to live in Springfield, Brockton or Lawrence? These poor cities are now going to thrive because more people without disposable income are able to move there? Yea no thanks on that idea. As an aside mass general law chapter 40B mandates municipalities maintain 10% of housing inventory as affordable housing otherwise a developer shall be issued a building permit for such homes. All of these communities are slightly above 10%. May not be the case but this may be the last blitz you see on these types of developments before the municipalities change direction and those markets are flooded with regular market homes. But anyways, the point is no one wants to live in those dumps.

The Daily Mail certainly frames the devices in a very specific way, but they also monitor how many cell phones are in a given area.

They're becoming very prevalent in AirBnBs.

love 2 live in a place called "College Hill" and then complain about all the college students

Hear me out, say NO to new housing. Springfield, Brockton, and Lawrence, MA has zero new developments outside of affordable housing projects and their rents are the cheapest in the state. Meanwhile Boston has been cranking out thousands of luxury units every single year and their rents have been increasing nearly 10% YOY.

Thanks for reflecting and apologizing.

Man, I wouldn’t mind sound level monitors on all buildings. Mostly for passing vehicles, however.

This looks really cool! What's standing in the water? hahaha

In all my years I don't think I ever entered this Shell location. I remember seeing the Nation Of Islam guys do their spiel here and were eventually displaced by incoming bums.

Just say boomers

good

25 units with 2 bedrooms certainly does not mean 50+ residents will be arranging rooftop parties together - these students will all have lives and social circles fairly independent of each other’s. This location is already neighboring several tall(er) buildings (including Brown’s 14+ story Sciences Library, a 5 story computer science department, and the 9 story Minden residence hall all just across the street). And now that I think of it, most of the “homes” in this area are multi-unit dwellings perennially up for rent to college students. Seems to me like rich East Side residents simply don’t want to see too much change so close to their neck of the woods.

Yay for more housing!!

Like those two lots literally abut: a bank, the subway on Waterman, and academic buildings. There are literally no neighbors to annoy.

Yes, There’s this one liqu

One anecdote meant to scare and mislead you doesn’t undo decades of positive crime trends, despite what OP wants you to believe.

That’s awesome! What shops?

>PROVIDENCE − The Providence City Plan Commission has approved a five-story apartment building on College Hill with a storefront on Brook Street on the condition that management or security be on the premises at all times.

>That condition, as well as devices that will monitor the sound level and number of cellphones on the roof, on balconies and in common areas of the would-be building at 116Waterman St., came in response to complaints from the neighborhood association, Ward 2 Councilwoman Helen Anthony and residents that college students will menace the neighborhood with loud parties.

I thought crime was at an all time low in decades…

Persimmon, Oberlin, Gracie’s, New Rivers

What a ridiculous post. Do you really think users publicly naming a business in this scenario would not draw more attention to that business’s illegal practices?

The East End!
