Reply to comment by Figwit_ in Question- Why does Mass charge out of staters 3x the price to camp at Mass state parks? I understand slightly higher rates, but 3x? Come on. by Figwit_
bro you live in new hampshire. damn near the whole state is free camping as long as youre 200 feet from the road/trail and 800(?) feet from water. why the fuck are you getting so bent out of shape when you literally have a protected right to camp literally amlost anywhere in one of the most beautiful landscapes on the planet and you want to come bum it up in Massachusetts?

You’re not comfortable with people being closer than 6 feet to you? Jesus. Get a grip.

Oh no, this white family who could afford to buy a home in a wealthy community had to go buy another home that they could also afford. They’re in my thoughts and prayers.

Hello everyone,

I'm heading to the store to buy a large quantity of white Wonder bread. Nothing else will do.

Yup, it's too expensive to live in this state. Sure it gets cheaper as you get to the middle and western parts of the state, but I want to stay relatively close to the coast. I've been looking to buy some land in NH.

The CROWN act isn't relevant. It only protects race-associated hairstyles or "protective" hairstyles: https://malegislature.gov/Laws/SessionLaws/Acts/2022/Chapter117

Reply to comment by chevyadsict83 in Why is excise tax higher on older vehicle then my newer one? by [deleted]
New cars are more efficient. As cars age they wear and become less efficient. Some cars as they get older leak fluids like oil and radiator fluid etc that contaminate the ground and although some people probably maintain their vehicles, i would suspect most people wouldn’t notice. Its also probably a good idea to steer people to newer cars for economic reasons too. So basically, older cars are more damaging to the road and environment which is why they should pay higher excise tax too
And lets get rid of manual transmission too

So nothing happened, nothing at all?
What the fuck are you worried about? This is MA.

Completely agree. I lived in Brighton for more than a decade and never thought I'd leave, but now that I'm here Providence is more accessible and has a ton of cool stuff. Plus with Mansfield and Foxboro close you have easy access to all the big summer shows.

I agree that a rise in the minimum wage would not solve the housing shortage in MA, and I agree that much of the shortage is due to zoning restrictions that make more affordable housing difficult to develop in most parts of the state. Lots of NIMBYism.

You forgot attack the suburbs......so even more people move out of mass.....instead of fixing problems.....just screw everyone else....it's the Massachusetts way.....look at the seaport...what a cluster of poor people get the hell out..for all the talk Wu and former democratic mayors talk..they are like all the other politicians....give me new shiny and expensive and screw everything else...we're going to push the lower incomes to the suburbs and maybe they can afford to commute into boston....
"The housing is high end and expensive, developers included little affordable housing, and public transportation access is limited. Public funds are behind Seaport, and the neighborhood should be available to all Boston residents, argues Walker."

You can legit move to Rhode Island and have pretty much the same experience but way cheaper rent and housing.
Mass is insanely expensive to live in

I've definitely been rear-ended because I was the 3rd car in that situation and didn't go through it. Now, thankfully, I know better.

But some people use a shorthand and might call their legislator that goes to Boston a congressperson because they’re not as well informed

You should check-in with the front office to see if it'd be cool if you sold weed to the students
