Hey everyone,

Like many of you posting on this forum who live at The Green at 9&90, my household is completely fed up with the absolute breakdown of this property and the endless, deceptive excuses from management. We pay premium rents to live here, but what we are actually experiencing is a systemic infrastructure collapse and total neglect of basic life safety.

The community saw the terrifying thread confirming children trapped in the failed elevator bank. We have all dealt with the continuous 3.5-month elevator shutdowns, the broken front entry locks and intercom systems that leave state workers and deliveries stranded on the sidewalk or in a foul garage, the freezing hot water lines, and the constant, daily false fire alarms that have completely desensitized the entire building.

To make matters worse, many residents are noticing that management is systematically purging and closing out active maintenance work tickets on the resident app—marking severe issues as "Resolved" when absolutely no repairs have been performed. They are fabricating a digital fiction to hide these code violations from municipal inspectors while posting signs threatening us with $500 fines.

You do not have to fight this multi-billion-dollar corporation alone, and you do not have to live in fear of lease retaliation.

We have formally established The Green Tenant Union to organize a collective wall across the complex's 1,050 units. Under Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 186, Section 18, it is strictly illegal for a landlord to retaliate against, threaten, or evict any resident for organizing or joining a tenant union. The law includes a built-in 60-day automatic presumption of retaliation—meaning if management tries to target you after you join, the court automatically presumes the landlord is breaking the law, and the burden of proof shifts entirely onto them.

Our organizing committee has established a secure, confidential timestamp registry. We track the exact date and time you join to create an official legal paper trail that insulates your household. Your information is kept completely private and will never be shared with management.

If you are sick of the bait-and-switch, the ignored maintenance tickets, and the safety hazards, it’s time to stand up together.

To join the confidential anti-retaliation registry or share your unit's maintenance evidence, email our organizing committee directly at:GreenTenantUnion@protonmail.com

In Solidarity,
The Green Tenant Union Organizing Committee

**Hola a todos:**

Al igual que muchos de ustedes que publican en este foro y viven en *The Green at 9&90*, en mi hogar estamos completamente hartos del colapso absoluto de esta propiedad y de las interminables y engañosas excusas de la administración. Pagamos alquileres premium para vivir aquí, pero lo que realmente estamos experimentando es un colapso sistémico de la infraestructura y un descuido total de la seguridad vital básica.

La comunidad vio el aterrador hilo que confirmaba a niños atrapados en el grupo de ascensores averiados. Todos hemos lidiado con los continuos cortes de ascensor de 3 meses y medio, las cerraduras de las entradas principales y los sistemas de intercomunicación rotos que dejan a los trabajadores estatales y los repartidores varados en la acera o en un garaje pestilente, las tuberías de agua caliente congeladas y las constantes y diarias falsas alarmas de incendio que han desensibilizado por completo a todo el edificio.

Para empeorar las cosas, muchos residentes están notando que la administración está purgando y cerrando sistemáticamente las órdenes de trabajo de mantenimiento activas en la aplicación para residentes, marcando problemas graves como "Resueltos" cuando no se ha realizado absolutamente ninguna reparación. Están fabricando una ficción digital para ocultar estas violaciones del código a los inspectores municipales mientras colocan carteles que nos amenazan con multas de $500.

No tienen que luchar solos contra esta corporación multimillonaria, y no tienen que vivir con miedo a represalias en sus contratos de arrendamiento.

Hemos establecido formalmente *The Green Tenant Union* (Sindicato de Inquilinos de The Green) para organizar un frente colectivo a lo largo de las 1,050 unidades del complejo. Según las Leyes Generales de Massachusetts, Capítulo 186, Sección 18, es estrictamente ilegal que un propietario tome represalias, amenace o desaloje a cualquier residente por organizar o unirse a un sindicato de inquilinos. La ley incluye una presunción automática de represalia de 60 días, lo que significa que si la administración intenta tomar medidas en su contra después de unirse, el tribunal presume automáticamente que el propietario está violando la ley, y la carga de la prueba recae completamente sobre ellos.

Nuestro comité organizador ha establecido un registro de marcas de tiempo seguro y confidencial. Realizamos un seguimiento de la fecha y hora exactas en que se unen para crear un historial legal oficial que proteja a sus hogares. Su información se mantiene completamente privada y nunca se compartirá con la administración.

Si están cansados del engaño, de las órdenes de mantenimiento ignoradas y de los riesgos de seguridad, es hora de que nos pongamos de pie juntos.

Para unirse al registro confidencial contra represalias o para compartir las pruebas de mantenimiento de su unidad, envíen un correo electrónico directamente a nuestro comité organizador a: GreenTenantUnion@protonmail.com

Yo personalmente solo sé inglés, ¡pero uso Inteligencia Artificial para traducir y así poder ayudar a todos!

hello! i am new to framingham and looking for somewhere to take my sister for her birthday. she wants a fun restaurant (i.e. not super formal & there’s people there), preferably one that serves alcohol. open to places in surrounding towns as well.

thanks so much in advance!!

With Tennessee’s bbq closing, does anyone have a recipe for their hot wings? it’s definitely not Buffalo or Nashville, and not just a dry rub. they’re smoked but I can’t figure the sauce.

Took the 8am today for a flight leaving at 11:30.

The location is separate from the usual Logan Express terminal, note that it is across from the AMC Theater on Flutie Pass. Parking is available as is drop off/pick up.

I got there around 7:15 and was checked in, they offered to print my flight boarding pass and gave me a boarding pass for the bus. Then you sit until TSA begins taking everyone for your bus. Process was quick and easy, I think they were still training some folks. You then board a bus and get going. Traffic was moderate for 8:30am and we arrived at Logan around 8:50.

The buses go through the South Cargo Terminal entrance and drop off Delta passengers first, then about 5-10 minutes to get to Jet Blue drop off. I would recommend this highly for anyone who loves aviation, kids, etc. The bus route on airport grounds winds from cargo to terminal A to terminal C, and you're surrounding by planes and equipment the whole way. As an aviation person, it was really interesting to get that view of Logan.

Overall, I would probably do this again on busy travel days, or at off-peak times where traffic is less likely to make you late. I could easily have taken the 9am bus for an 11:30 flight, but I wouldn't recommend the 10am although I would have made it. The process of TSA is about the same time as TSA Precheck.

For $9, it was worth it just for the cool views of the airport.

Edit: For Jetblue you get dropped off around C5-C8, so it can be a hike to your gate.

Anyone have experience (good or bad) with Teddy Bear Village?

Hi folks,

Wife and I live in MetroWest and are MANY years removed from the swinging lifestyle (pandemic + two babies = no time, energy, or interest for a long while). We're both maybe interested in starting to dip our toes back in, but are so much older than we used to be and live out in what feels like the boonies compared to where we used to live. We aren't going out to clubs in Boston or Somerville at 10pm any more and seeing who wants to dance with her...

Looking for recommendations for any sort of bars out here between 128 and 495 where there's a chance someone would approach my wife to say hi, or even where she might see a man (without a ring) whose eye she can try to catch. Any thoughts?

Thanks!

PS - definitely not looking to arrange anything with a Redditor, sorry!

I'm in Ashland. What are some options for safe facebook marketplace transactions?

Any recommendations for a reasonable priced and well reputed Toyota service centers in the metro west area for regular maintanence work?

Tired of the dealerships prices.

Thanks

Hey everyone! I'm looking for a studio/one bedroom apartment in the Framingham area. I've been looking at Water View Village and was wondering if anyone has experience with this apartment complex/if you have any suggestions that are less than $2,100. I would like to live somewhere where I could potentially take a bus to logan express, I have a car to get around otherwise, thanks for the help!

But if anyone has seen it gathering dust quietly at a nearby store, can you let me know? Im not going to buy it all...just need one pack. Feel free to dm. I dont drink it so your secret will be safe.
