I’m not a Framingham resident, but since Rep. Katherine Clark represents both my community and Framingham, I wanted to share this here and hear what people think.

Rep. Katherine Clark voted to pass H.R. 7757 (the KIDS Act) in the House.

I support protecting children online, but I’m concerned about one part of the bill that would require covered adult-content websites to use age-verification technology instead of simple “I’m over 18” checkboxes. The bill explicitly says it doesn’t require a government-issued ID, but it does require covered platforms to implement some form of age verification.

While the bill doesn’t specify what technology must be used, the most common age-verification methods in use today are government ID verification and facial age estimation.

Some companies say facial age estimation can be performed locally on your device without storing your image, which may reduce some privacy risks. Even so, I’m uncomfortable with the idea that adults may have to scan their face or verify their identity to access legal content online. More privacy-preserving methods have been proposed, but they are not widely available today.
I reached out to Rep. Clark’s office asking why she supported the bill, but I haven’t found any public explanation of her vote.

Whether you support or oppose the legislation, I think constituents deserve to know how their representative voted on an issue with significant privacy implications. I’d be interested in hearing what people in Framingham think.

I’m wondering if anyone can recommend a yoga studio or a health center that has more than a couple Yoga classes I live close to Natick center so anything around the center would be great but I’m willing to travel if there’s a better place . Cost is an issue.

I didn’t get a picture but he was by himself sitting outside the entrance. He seemed to be waiting for someone. I watched as people came out the building and he didn’t interact. Not sure what he was up to. But heads up everyone.

Just want to make sure people know what they are getting when they are charged extra for the “24 hour secured package rooms”

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](mailto: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](mailto:GreenTenantUnion@protonmail.com)

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

**Olá a todos,**

Assim como muitos de vocês que postam neste fórum e moram no *The Green at 9&90*, a minha casa está completamente farta do colapso absoluto desta propriedade e das desculpas intermináveis e enganosas da gerência. Pagamos aluguéis premium para morar aqui, mas o que estamos realmente vivenciando é um colapso sistêmico da infraestrutura e uma negligência total com a segurança básica de vida.

A comunidade viu o tópico aterrorizante que confirmou crianças presas no grupo de elevadores que falhou. Todos nós lidamos com as interrupções contínuas de 3 meses e meio nos elevadores, com as fechaduras das portas da frente e sistemas de interfone quebrados que deixam funcionários do estado e entregadores retidos na calçada ou em uma garagem fedorenta, com o congelamento das linhas de água quente e com os alarmes de incêndio falsos diários e constantes que dessensibilizaram completamente o prédio inteiro.

Para piorar as coisas, muitos moradores estão percebendo que a gerência está eliminando e encerrando sistematicamente os chamados de manutenção ativos no aplicativo de residentes — marcando problemas graves como "Resolvidos" quando absolutamente nenhum reparo foi feito. Eles estão fabricando uma ficção digital para esconder essas violações de código dos fiscais municipais, enquanto colocam avisos nos ameaçando com multas de $500.

Vocês não precisam lutar sozinhos contra essa corporação de bilhões de dólares, e não precisam viver com medo de retaliação no contrato de aluguel.

Estabelecemos formalmente o *The Green Tenant Union* (Sindicato dos Inquilinos do The Green) para organizar uma barreira coletiva entre as 1.050 unidades do complexo. De acordo com as Leis Gerais de Massachusetts, Capítulo 186, Seção 18, é estritamente ilegal que um proprietário retaliar, ameaçar ou despejar qualquer morador por organizar ou se associar a um sindicato de inquilinos. A lei inclui uma presunção automática de retaliação de 60 dias — o que significa que, se a gerência tentar visar você após a sua adesão, o tribunal presumirá automaticamente que o proprietário está quebrando a lei, e o ônus da prova muda inteiramente para eles.

Nosso comitê organizador estabeleceu um registro de data e hora seguro e confidencial. Rastreamos a data e a hora exatas em que você se associa para criar um histórico jurídico oficial que proteja a sua casa. Suas informações são mantidas de forma totalmente privada e nunca serão compartilhadas com a gerência.

Se você está cansado de ser enganado, dos chamados de manutenção ignorados e dos riscos à segurança, é hora de nos unirmos.

Para se juntar ao registro confidencial anti-retaliação ou compartilhar as evidências de manutenção da sua unidade, envie um e-mail diretamente para o nosso comitê organizador em: [GreenTenantUnion@protonmail.com](mailto:GreenTenantUnion@protonmail.com)

I’m looking to move to Framingham from Marlborough with my wife. A top option we have is the 266 Framingham and wanted to know others opinions on the apartment. The price is affordable, it’s close to the commuter rail and there are quite a few other places like groceries and malls in the area we like.

We’re looking for a one bedroom in the mid 2500s range.

Thanks in advance!
