Dunning-Kruger is how you end up with people somehow believing that markets are so simple that the housing markets of two places have nothing to do with one and other if there's very few people directly debating between the two. People are debating between Hudson and Framingham. Framingham and...

It's been 40 years since Alewife opened, fwiw. Is there the width for rail-with-trail? Quick google maps check makes it look pretty wide other than a couple pinch points at the transmission tower and at Oak St
