Construction noise next door on a Sunday in the Neck

Quincy’s Houghs Neck neighborhood was disrupted by construction noise on an otherwise quiet, sunny, and pleasant Sunday this past weekend.

Abutting Nekkers who have also long been impacted by the yet-to-be-completed construction projects to renovate the public boat landing were distracted from their streaming whatever yesterday and maybe even while getting out and about for some fresh air on a bright and relatively warm Sunday as construction work was underway at the controversial site of a former restaurant parking lot.

Local ordinances prohibit construction work in residential neighborhoods on Sunday as well as that engaging in construction work on Sundays in non-residential areas of Quincy requires a should be hard to obtain waiver from the City, both of which are among the few blue laws that Quincy Quarry fully endorses.

Say what?

In this case, however, apparently no one knows nuthin’ as the ostensibly local family that is noisily building a single-family and an adjacent two-family in Houghs seven days a week is the same family that recently built in Quincy Center the tallest building in Quincy as well as that this family is tight with La Kocha Nostra and thus all complaints are sure to fall on deaf ears.

Adding to the sonic disruption, this construction noise is surely reminding at least some Nekkers of the dubious at best approval to build these projects. 

Among other things, the grifted approval reduced the available pool of parking by a situationally significant 24 spaces in a neighborhood where the street parking in front of residences is even more sacrosanct year-round than are the privately-cleared of snow curbside street parking spaces in South and East Boston neighborhoods that have had their turf marked for exclusive use via parking savers for technically but a few days after a snow event

Cutting things close?

Further troubling, while Quincy Quarry has inexplicably not been able to sync its GPS satellite survey mapping equipment and related software to the CIty of Quincy’s GIS mapping database, it would still clearly appear that these two adjacent construction projects at least arguably initiated by the connected Marina Bay family may not be complying with local building codes as regards the placement of these buildings, applicable setbacks, and other such things.

Then again, what with the unarguably obvious Sunday noise violation “overlooked,” what are a few more suspected building code violations heaped on top of all of the grifts that helped to facilitate these construction projects in the first place?

Plus, what with the restaurant formerly tied to the construction site still closed as well as looking unlikely to ever be reopened by its management at the time of its closing, all of the grifting could readily be further spun such that the restaurant’s now-former parking lot is now no longer needed as the restaurant is (still, ed.) closed in what one can readily argue is a locally all too frequently foisted petitio principii rationalizing of bovine byproduct, if not also reductio ad absurdum.

That and how the sum of it all already is an all too typical local example of how “… some animals are more equal than others …” as far as the Koch Machine is concerned.
