I moved to CT. I got married and simply couldn’t afford to live where I grew up. It kind of sucks here but the pizza is good. It’s too bad Mass has done so little to deal with this issue.

What sort of infrastructure

I literally said in my first sentence that people don't move because they hate it. Then you just said after "I don't hate it".... and that it was comfortable.

That's my point. No one 'hates' living here.

This is frustrating. If there a refund for cancelling a reservation? If the site is paid for and unused, is it really different than if it is paid for and used?

The problem is when the door is reserved and then cancelled without penalty.

You just called Baxter "one park in the deep backwoods of Maine"

Take the L and move on dude.

>there are tax advantages moving to FLA

No there aren't.

Stop telling them the truth.

Don't let the door hit you in the ass.

People have been moving to New Hampshire and Florida, the top two states, from Mass, since the end of WWII. NH because housing is cheaper, making the southern part of the state a far suburb of greater Boston. Half the population of NH lives in greater Manchester and south, so within about a half hour drive to Mass. And people have been retiring to Florida, escaping the snow, and for many people, there are tax advantages moving to FLA.

ETA: no state income tax in FLA.

Too much of the state pop is centered around Boston. Lots of affordable housing in MA but everything requires driving. Build the infrastructure to make Boston-Worcester-Springfield a connected corridor and it will open up options for people besides leaving the state.

Jesus Christ dude, get over it, this division isn’t going to help anybody

More for me (eveel laugh)

Last spring NH had to lock the gates at one state park after people from Lowell and Lawrence trashed the place.

Some towns (Framingham, for example) handle textile recycling through their DPW. Check towns in your area.

Right, so we'd prefer you stay in hotels and eat in restaurants.

Yeah, state park camping fees are a HUGE revenue source.

Quoted for truth.

So do housing prices.

Thoughts? Much ado about very little.

1. The article is reporting exits during 2021 NOT net changes in population.
2. The change from '21-'22 for MA is a drop of 0.11%. That's one-tenth of one percent.

It would be interesting to compare year over year changes for other periods... but that might undermine the Globe article.

The article is a human interest piece not a news story.

Right. So the people leaving are the poorly educated Trumpers who lack the job skills to afford the housing.

Mass is woke so ur good

Fair enough.
