Same. Born and raised. I got free though and have had the pleasure of seeing the outside world.

Unfortunately I work in North Adams, with the public. The people here don’t seem to realize that they kind of suck, mind you I prefer them to the stuck up assholes from Williamstown (fuck you Williamstown, I’ve met meth addicts friendlier than most of of you. I mean this literally). They are just, not okay in the head.

That all said, despite everyone kinda sucking, they all seem to mean well and don’t realize their weird. Unlike Williamstown, who can fuck right off.

Hey, I’m sorry you’re sick but glad you’re moving here where you can access exceptional care.

Also, for what it’s worth, my best friend has metastatic cancer and they’ve given her news like that a bunch of times and she just keeps coming back. Good quality of life too.

I hope for that for you.

What I don’t get is why communities which don’t have MBTA access are subject to it. Newton has a stop, yep clearly should be subject. Same with Weston, but how the heck is “Holden” - west of Worcester - an MBTA community? It’s like getting stuck with the designation but not actually getting MBTA service. I’d say if they wanna add rail service to communities willing to comply and take it away from Weston as a cost-of-access for not complying then consider that.

Maybe I am misunderstanding your comment, but I have never understood why the state doesn't incentivize businesses to move outside of 495.

Make Worcester/Springfield a desirable destination for businesses. The housing market would definitely cool down if the state made other cities viable.
