Because they're juggling a few things that don't work together. Dense housing is a neat idea for a static environment, but New York is dense. New York is still expensive. Building densely doesn't compare to building intelligently, and right now, companies want to be in Boston. Instead of making companies go to other locations, they're making towns build up like they're Boston, only at break-neck speeds.

Did not know that was the precursor band to Morphine ( which I never got into at the time). Loved them in the late 80s.

Holden has to zone 50 acres at 15 units per acre. That's what this does. It's zoning

Treat Her Right always did a good show, saw them a bunch of times late 80s. Never really thought gloomy was the word for him.

Blueberry lemonade tastes like what I imagine a bath and body works lotion would taste like

Good for you! Yeah, I had a weird situation with a mod on r/whitepeopletwitter earlier this week. I told my sister the world is on a fascist tilt... Even people I usually side with and consider myself part of (left leaning, liberal, inclusive and accepting) are losing their fucking minds. I'm glad you stood up, too! :)
I found one of their posts here and see they are from Western Mass, which is where I'm from. If they're in the Five College area (my home area)... My dad calls the Valley the "surrealistic pillow" for a reason. I love the place with all my heart, but the university bubble is a little hyper and out of touch sometimes. I read somewhere else that they haven't been in the state super long, so I'm wondering if they are a college student who hasn't grown up yet. ;)

The Masshole way: kind, but not nice.

It was. Even though it was kind of upsetting, I'm proud that I was banned. I'd have been ashamed if I had just meekly kept my head down and gone along to stay out of trouble with that loony.

I’m all about the classics. I stick to cran-lime and grapefruit mostly, but if they canned that cranberry clementine instead of just the liter, I’d be all over it.

I grew up in Western Mass. I'm sorry, but Belchertown does kind of suck. Not as bad as Ware, which really sucks, but pretty bad. It's not far from Amherst and it has the Quabbin, so it has that going for it.
Unless Charlemont has changed a lot in the last 15 years, it also kind of sucks. Don't get me wrong - it is BEAUTIFUL, but remote, poor, and there isn't much there.
Is it bad that I hope a lot of these stay largely undiscovered? The Amherst-Hadley-Norhtampton hub, where I grew up, and where four generations of my family have lived, has become so crowded and over- developed, it's hardly recognizable. I don't want it to happen to the rest of Western Mass.

With tolls. On the only east-west artery with a speed limit above 25 in the region. After promising not to.

And in quick time, too! I barely even knew there was an issue before it was resolved. Good work.

Outside of 495 is only vaguely recognized as Mass and past 91 is "Approaching Yankee Territory". Be thankful we gave you the Pike...serfs!

That's how California has started dealing with municipalities that refuse to build new housing. Builder's remedy allows developers to create housing in areas that don't meet their housing targets. The first projects are just getting started
