I am consulting at BC currently.

Ya the cafe wasn't that great and way too pricy. I used to bring my lunch down there just to see some of the ladies or just go have lunch on Newbury St in the summer. Luckily for me, my company has a cafe and the prices are cheap and food is good.

That is too funny you are at BC right now. From my place I can see the BC dorms (I live off Lake street).

Just tell me you are not one of those extremely terrible human beings that call them selves the Alton/Brighton Watch or wahtever. The people that spend all day whining about the fact that they have to live near an institution that was there when their grandparents were kids.

The whole thing is weird. People are complaining about the students, and when BC bought 2000 Comm to use as dorm, they complain more. I thought it was a great idea to keep them in one building. I do think that BC should cough up some tax money.

If the students didn't live in off-campus housing around the school, the rents and property value would go down in my opinion. The area is not like around Allston which is just student/party central. We need the student resident income for sure.

Outside of the taxes issue and perhaps the say in state house compared to the property tax the area contributes... Not sure what their issue is?

Haha no. I lived in Brighton last year on Comm Ave and wanted to be in a house. I still have two friends that are there and a few friends that are alumni. I recently graduated from college so I enjoy knowing people around us still like to have fun. I actually read an article in the Globe last month about neighbors complaining of the noise levels at BC.....they live practically on BC's campus and they are complaining of college students.....

I can hear when the Eagles score from my house and the stadium is 25 mintue walk. It's just like the people who moved into the Charlestown Navy Yard and have petitioned to have the US Constitution silence its cannon as they are too loud for the neighbors. Give me a freaking break...
