I doubt they can afford it, and really feel for the non-stupid who are trapped. I really think most folks aren't bright to understand what will likely happen, but that's always been an unfortunate thing. All we can do is help those who are willing to be helped and willing to behave decently enough to be helped.
In short: gators and cool people come north, everyone else stay down with the mosquitos and bigotry.

If you’re traveling in, you will need a car. Mansfield is not near Boston and not near the airport. I don’t know about public transportation but I’ve never considered using it to get there.
Seats are worth paying more for over lawn, please trust myself and other commenters. You can barely see what’s going on from the lawn, it’s the cheapest way in the venue and fun if you’re there for a good time but not to enjoy the band. I regret only buying lawn seats for this venue seeing some of my favorite bands. Consider paying for seats.
Despite my tone, I do really enjoy the xfinity center and have been there a bunch of times. Pros: you can tailgate! Arrive early when the parking lots open and set up shop with beers and food. You can eat and drink (without being super obnoxious) before doors open at the show. Grills are allowed from what I remember.
I have also paid up for VIP parking the last few times I’ve been there and it’s MASSIVELY improved the headache of leaving xfinity. Yes, the up charges for everything are annoying, but I’ve realized it’s worth the convenience of time saved. I 100% recommend buying a parking pass as well. You will get out of there in minutes and avoid the hour long traffic jam, and not have to run out of the show halfway through the last song to beat traffic.

Why would I fight capitalism? I worked all my life to get an excellent job and have an awesome family. I have a great 401k and benefits. How has capitalism treated me unfairly?

Yup, you're stupid as all fuck. And don't spew bullshit...you are only taking someone else's word as gospel, not thinking freely. By all means, call out the elite, most of them are completely disingenuous. But you are only calling out half of them, sucking down rich GOP talking points and acting like they apply to poor lil' you. You're a partisan lackey when you should be fighting capitalism, therefore you are only helping the elite get richer. Neither dem or gop gives a shit if you drown, so why are you shilling for the very elites that would bury you and your family? You've been had so hard it's ridiculous. And now you are saddled with a property you'll still be paying for when it's gone.

This may be changing soon as the Attorney general has certified three versions of the proposed ballot question to get rid of the gas tax in 2024. If anybody is interested in signing a petition for the group i will post the link below.

Oh I’m stupid for calling out the elites who purchase expensive waterfront properties, who buy luxury yachts, use private planes etc while preaching to us how climate change is a threat and we should not be dependent on fossil fuels etc? Im sorry but I don’t give a fuck what these people say who don’t practice what they preach but some people like yourself take their words as gospel. Rules for thee but not for me is their motto.
Edit- FYI people don’t purchase real estate to lose money, especially ocean front property. It’s called an investment. Also he tells the public that the coastlines will be under water in x amount of years while purchasing waterfront property. You can’t make this shit up! 🤣

I've thought about New Hampshire, I am paying 2100 rent for a small 2 bedroom in Lawrence, MA and that gets me slightly more than an hour morning commute into Boston. The problem is the closest places in New Hampshire (Salem / Nashua) pushes that up to to more than 3 hours a day commuting. Did that for 6 years, don't want to go back.

I was being too generous I guess. I’m not worried about nature. It will survive. I am worried about all the Florida climate refugees moving and bringing their stupidity and hate along with them.

Obama is fucking rich can can afford vacation properties he can lose. Do you not understand the simple fact that he's loaded and you aren't?

You aren't Obama, or Trump, and will therefore be fucked and paying for a worthless property because you believed the bank man...jesus. It hurts to write it's so stupid.

I believe you can use your license in certain lakes, i was just looking to renew my license this morning actually.
As of Feb. 17, 2011, Massachusetts has reciprocity agreements with:
New Hampshire: MA to NH and NH to MA
Rhode Island: MA to RI and RI to MA
Connecticut: MA to CT and CT to MA
Maine: MA to ME only

I have to drive to Boston/Cambridge everyday for work and I don’t want to drive 2-3 hours one way so I’m kinda forced to try and stay within like a 25 mile radius of Boston

>no bank would ever give out a home loan in those areas
omg....laughing so hard I can't even breathe....yes, of course, so no bank wants to give out grossly inflated loans they know you'll have to default on due to damage and lack of funds....
EXCEPT THAT IS LITERALLY HOW REAL ESTATE WORKS IN THE U.S.
You took the bait, buddy. Florida is queen of foreclosed homes bought by people with no money through predatory loans. Rich people can write off their losses, so they can afford to trash a vacation home and to enjoy the property while they can.
I'm betting you can't. So you jumped on a chance for a cheap home in a highly unregulated market at a price it will never be worth. That makes you the prey. I'd feel sorry for you if you weren't so ignorantly proud of the mistake you've made. You think like a poor person, assuming a billionaire values a home the way you have to. You made your decision as if you have millions to toss around, so here's both hoping you do and wondering why the fuck you didnt get an education if you could afford one instead of investing in floodlands. Now pardon me while I enjoy watching this leopard eat your face.

If we charged what you charge for state parks, we'd be able to have in-ground pools with waterslides at every campsite.

Okay, then, what's your fucking problem? Are you just pissy because some internet people said you made a stupid real estate move to live in one of the lowest rated states? Or because you don't agree with commonly accepted science? That's all it takes to rile you up?
I mean, I own a home in a much more desirable state and have saved well for retirement. Still concerned for the planet because I'm not an asshole and still think it's lousy you got suckered by a bank into a poor investment. But if you are happy with florida there's not much I can say...some just want less for themselves and the world.
p.s. just took a look at your post history and, unsurprisingly, you are a shitty racist as well. There's always a dogwhistle with you idiots. Hurry up and fall into the sea, already.
