We disagree. Let it go. It's not "virtue signaling" to have a difference of opinion. I've lived in places you are describing and felt perfectly safe. You are free to feel differently. Now go away.

Look, I know it feels great to virtue signal and show everyone just how inclusive and progressive you are, but why don’t you keep it contained within your usual circlejerk and not do a great disservice to those not familiar with the area by steering them to clearly unsafe locations? It’s your types that routinely tell others places like Grove Hall are perfectly safe and anyone saying otherwise is all sorts of *ist.

People buy property speculatively all the time with the goal of overturning stuff like this. Buying property is not some kind of agreement to abide by any unjust previous encumbrances on the property.

The easement either is or is not properly granted. If it isn’t, it should be overturned and the town should buy the property by eminent domain if it’s so important.

Seriously. The path has been public since the 1800s. What did you think was going to happen when you bought the property? I once had an apartment across the street from a bar. People were smoking on the street and talking loudly until 2 AM but I knew that when I signed the lease so I didn't complain. This homeowner is so entitled, I hope 7 dogs take a dump on her lawn this weekend.

I managed just fine while I was in college(Framingham area) there are plenty of bars along Rt 9 (Golden Triangle)and it was only about a 20 minute drive via the pike into Boston if we wanted to go clubbing. About the same via Rte 9 if we wanted to hit up Worcester too.

What go to Market Basket or Papa Gino’s? No offense to either because I like both. For a college kid there’s not a whole lot of night life. Of course there’s things to do but not like in a city.
