? Reread what you wrote lol. Wtf are you on about with your statement that I already quoted?

I agree but curious…What about someone who moved here at 18 and spent the next two decades here? Like when is someone a “Bostonian”

Toxicants, not toxins :-) there’s a difference!

Europe isn’t some magical utopia either lol. Lots of places have shit infrastructure and shit politicians and huge income inequality too but for some reason American redditors see one picture of a bike lane in Amsterdam and a train in Germany and think that’s how all of Europe is 😂

USA is also bigger than all (most?) countries in Europe…that would be like us judging Paris for what happens in Moldova.

You clearly don’t have kids if you think people sending their kids to daycare “can’t be bothered to raise” them themselves lol. Both parents NEED to work in MA since everything is so fucking expensive. I wish we didn’t need daycare, but we do.

So obnoxious. Do film crews pay the city for utilizing public space? I assume yes but I don’t know.

I want to be reincarnated as one of these pups.

Clearly OP doesn’t know what anti-capitalist means either lol. Goes on rant about neo-Nazis not realizing the irony that Nazi Germans were anti-capitalists.

You realize Nazis were anti-capitalists, right?

What if the tattoo artist owns their own shop lol? You should probably rethink your tattoo haha 😂

How do you not see that a tattoo artist can ALSO be a capitalist lol?

Your post states that a “tattoo artist is a worker, not a capitalist”. Seems to be a broad generalization that isn’t necessarily true.

That comment sucked worse than your mom

How is a tattoo artist necessarily not a capitalist lmao? What if they are using their income from your tattoo to buy and flip real estate or invest in other tattoo companies?

My in laws live on mid-Cape and it’s like 75 mins door to door to our house in Quincy if you go off-peak. We love Quincy. Walkable, decent schools, close to city, beach, parks. And affordable relative to most of GBA. Can’t really complain much.

Public transit is awesome without the public

It’s way faster to drive at peak rush hour than it is to take the red line lately. Sad.

Nobody made you take those jobs though lol. Trust me I live in Boston now. I appreciate that high income doesn’t mean wealthy. But you make a choice on career and location and spouse and house etc.

We have a state-of-the-art, world class subway system and intricate network of bicycle infrastructure, why are you driving?

(/s in case it was needed)

Since OP didn’t mention their budget I have no idea what they can afford. I’m assuming they have high income to even be considering the situation described in the post.

Can you afford to rent a place in the city? Maybe you could stay over a couple nights a week?

People are free to ask for help, I’m always happy to. My elderly neighbor asks me to help shovel etc and I always do 🤷‍♂️

I attempted to help a middle aged female open a door to a cafe once since she was juggling a baby carrier and she screamed “I AM FINE!!!” And acted like I was trying to like steal her kid or something. Now I just MMOB unless someone asks for help.

Yeah people have a hard time controlling their emotions in general
