epeemike81.bsky.social @epeemike81.bsky.social · 9hOnly if you restrict to municipal boundaries. That's more about Boston not absorbing its suburbs than actually not having cheaper areas. I agree that any methodology that generated this chart is clearly flawed, but there are definitely cheaper parts of the Boston area. 100

Massachusetts has the strictest gun control laws in the US. 100

epeemike81.bsky.social @epeemike81.bsky.social · 19/08/2026Further, it's not "Public money for a private stadium," it's "Private money for a public stadium." Boston Public Schools retains ownership of the stadium and the Legacy simply get 40 dates a year for games and practices. Any auxiliary use of the stadium for concerts, etc, would be benefit the city. 100
