I've never actually seen a slippery slope. Just an excuse for people who don't want to do the right thing. It's literally an argument of "even though we all agree it's a good thing to do, we shouldn't do it because later we might do something that we don't do agree it's good".

Reparations are a slippery slope...

Newton would be you're best bet, but that's if it's in your budget (high six figures to start). Other options are Lexington and Wellesley, but they too will be in the high six figures.

The irony is that the term luddites came from workers banding together to destroy machines that were replacing their jobs. Its understandable when you consider those workers needed those jobs in order to pay for things like housing and food. This casino was first proposed during the great recession because the machines and manufacturing had all been offshored and people were desperate to create jobs of any form. Somewhere along the line we've learned to ignore the worker's legitimate concerns about putting food on the table and only see things from the perspective of the factory owner who doesn't give a damn about anything but their bottom line.

Houses in Fitchburg are selling for that. It’s not a good school system

"Actual Spring" should have the description next to it of "two weeks only"

Where in Cambridge? If anywhere near porter square, look out west along the Fitchburg line of the commuter rail.

They are supposedly predicting a stormier pattern next week and more winter like temps.

When you’ve just come out of a polar vortex 50 feels pretty nice. Of course I prefer 65-85, but it is relative my friend.

Who wouldn’t want a casino next door? Luddites.

Well, it's 60. Also it's usually about 15 degrees this time of year.

I know they had right of first refusal when they were giving them out.

NIMBY is anything that someone doesn’t want in their back yard. Bike paths, dispensaries, power stations, country club expansion etc, etc.

It's full steam ahead. Mass has 1 more casino license to dish out and pretty sure it's going here

With that price range you are going to have to go an hour out, maybe Shrewsbury, Boylston, Westborough, Northborough, Grafton

Taxation is still a Ponzi scheme.

No issue providing for schools, emergency services, roads, healthcare for the elderly, and social security...

But the bullshit that's been woven into the US tax process to leech off of people is fucking vile.

if budget is no object, Groton is within an hour and has incredible schools (public and private). Concord, too. but both are... well, let's just say your average software engineer would probably be the poor person in town lol

The article says part of the fight was to stop the plans of a $1 billion dollar casino. So I would assume that's still in the plans.

This one leaves out “the pollening” 🤧

😂😭 my exact thoughts! This person must be very new to MA! Thinking they can get a 3bd house close to Cambridge for 700k

same.. Mine is because of some silly student loan interest that they made a mistake at certain income.. apparently it will be fixed by the 19th.... we shall see

The whole "casino" thing came about during the Great Recession as a way to create jobs in a struggling region. I do wonder if the plan will get the same level of enthusiasm it got in 2009.

Alright, in his defense, I’m from the Merrimack valley and a lot of people around here call it dunkies

My high school started at 7:00 on the dot. It was miserable and easily the worst part of high school
