Seems to be a pattern with them.

Hey, glad to see that your ban has been reversed and you’re back to posting here.
I own a CCS EV myself, and I haven’t yet tried to charge at a L3. I have an L2 at home that pretty much meets all of my charging needs. But taking my EV on the road does give me a lot of pause. Not really in MA, which does have a relatively extensive charging network (even if some are overpriced or nonfunctional, I feel I could find an L3 in a pinch). But places like NH are complete EV charging deserts. There are pretty much no charging options in the lakes or white mountain regions at all.
Did the reporting get any comments from state politicians on any plans to lower the costs of both EV charging/investment and lowering the cost of electricity in general in MA? I feel like electricity costs in NE are more of a pressing issue than EV charging, and I really haven’t heard any solutions being discussed considering how pressing the issue is for most residents.

Found one thing about North Andover. According to this article, North Andover is giving Amazon $27 million in tax incentives.

People aren't paying enough attention re: car prices.
We're going to run out of affordable used cars very, very soon. New cars are obscenely expensive and people will not be able to afford them with rent costs exploding.

You need to specify your area, dude.

Blame the state for allowing it. And everyone that shops via Amazon.

Big Y closed 2 years ago last week. Not sure exactly when the signage started going up.

Lol, your account is barely a month older than OP's with similar post frequency. You're both fakes if that's the case.

It’s exactly what happened. Short sighted indeed as these expanding companies’ CEOs went on CNBC yelling about inflation and knowing low interest money would go away soon. But for a company like Amazon tying up these properties in desirable areas is a net positive as it now bars competition from using that space and allows them to consolidate. The public will feel the most consequences.

I know! I hate that it’s closed. We go to the Woburn showcase now. Not too far but revere was closer. That’s the warehouse and now the Amazon fresh a bit further up route one same thing, empty.

Reply to comment by remotehuman in Question about registering car from out-of-state by RAiD78
So to be clear, as long as I'm able to fill out everything on the RTA, and I currently possess the plates of the state in which I'm registered, I should be fine?
Either way, I'm going to try to get a copy of my registration from state 1.

I’m local to there, not in Saugus but close by anyway.
Awhile back, maybe last summer or early fall in the Facebook page there were lots of inquiries as to what is going on etc, and some people from Saugus said it had to do with how many jobs they told the city/town they were going to offer and it ended up being a fraction of that. It could be wrong and way off but it was going around 6-9 months ago.

A lot of companies grew exponentially during the pandemic because of nature of the services they offered (amazon, shopping/delivery services, peloton, etc.) and for whatever reason thought that growth would continue even when the world would eventually go back to normal. They made bad decisions to expand, invest, etc. and now they're paying the price. It sucks, but what they did was super short sighted. I am no expert, but this is definitely what it seems...

Speaking from MA RMV terms, the “registration” is the plates. We call the paper proof registration as well but when you go into the RMV you will need to have a RTA (registration and title application) filled out along with a stamp from your insurance and you will have on it “new registration”.
The RMV will be able to locate your current registration information using your plates, you will want to surrender the license plates off of your car to the RMV and they will issue you new ones.

I just the question the logic from a public governance view. Why would you want a grocery chain in your local community that is almost entirely automated and tracks your biometrics and face while you’re inside.

Yeah I’m in Leominster now I walk by it everyday. The site is open and there’s no cameras anywhere. I also coincidentally used to live by the Worcester warehouse as well and I think your friend is right about it never opening. They announced at the end of last year they were closing 5 around the state that had opened because they overgrew. It just kind of sucks and it really makes me question the rationale of the officials green lighting these projects.

Your registration is the piece of paper you got from State 1.
tomphammer t1_jdvdis0 wrote
Get a copy of the registration from state 1 and bring it with you. That should be enough.
Make sure you have your insurance company get you a stamped copy of the RMV form that proves you’re insured. You won’t be able to proceed without it.
Also make sure you print out the affidavit form from the RMV stating when you bought the car. The point of sale paperwork isn’t enough you have to fill out their form.

I think you need to get a duplicate registration from the state it is currently registered in.

I think you're referring to the one I know about in central mass. My good friend is the store manager at TJMaxx across the parking lot and they don't know anything about it either. Looks like it's sitting dormant. I live a couple towns over and am in that area a lot for BJs and Market Basket (they're also opening an Ulta next door).
There's also the Amazon warehouse where the Greendale mall used to be. Our friend who is a Worcester fire fighter said that there's some electrical mess with electrical lines for the trains that go under the building (something to that effect) that is stopping them from being able to use the building. It could be a rumor but he said that there are no plans to use that building.

Reply to Question about registering car from out-of-state by RAiD78
I hate to piggyback off of someone else's question, but I am autistic and the instructions on the RMV page are difficult for me to follow. Would anyone be able to create a step-by-step guide to help with this? I've tried to read the page on three separate occasions and create my own but I am freaking out.
