I’m looking at Boston’s North End, Charlestown, and Gloucester. I can buy a comparable price house there and pay for less in property taxes. The restaurants and bars are cheaper too. I was shocked how clean and safe the subways were. There were far less homeless per capita, compared to Austin, San Antonio etc
Much of Massachusetts (especially exurbs and rural communities) are prosperous Whitopias.
The leftists who live there have it down to a science—cry about “climate change” to prevent all new development and “undesirables” from moving into town.
They follow Winston Churchill’s dictum—preserving their way of life with a “bodyguard of lies”.
