According to Boston.com, the Zoning Commission approved today the measure that would limit the number of undergraduate students to 4 per apartment.
for the love of god, does anyone know WHEN this law will be in affect? I've gone so far as to email the journalist who wrote the piece for the Globe and Councilor Ross (who is an ex professor of mine from Suffolk, nice guy, but don't know what he is thinking on this one) I am alarmed because I just signed a lease with 4 other people, I am however not a student, but work full time. I don't see how this can affect me since I am not enrolled anywhere, and there are 4 undergraduates, no more living in the apartment. Advice/comments/thoughts? I don't think it will affect me but I am still nervous because if I have to go through the hassle of finding another place I am going to be livid.
wow, scratch that last comment, as I finished typing it the reporter actually got back to me, called my office even. looks like no one will know when it is in affect until tomorrow.
''A grand jury is looking into steroids use in the Boston PD.''
Am I the only person finding this amusing?
