As you say, the view is the real attraction here. The city model is cool, and it's nice to have an outdoor section, but the view is the same as before. Obviously many people like going to the Top of the Hub for that specific dining experience. Personally, I never went up there but instead...

If Boston wasn't there, and/or instead was some shittier city, all land within commuting distance would be substantially cheaper. That's what it means, people are paying an absolute premium to live in Metro Boston, not because a town like Holden has more to offer than any other leafy suburb in...

It's not my town. I only knew where it was by pulling it up on the map. I could drive to Boston in the same amount of time it would take most of the Holden residents to drive to the commuter rail.

To me, keeping the forests intact serves the health of the state. I don't want to clear cut forests to put up some barely-dense housing when we should instead be telling Boston to turn their 3-6 story housing proposals into 20-50 stories. It also meets the "green" mandates better to have more...

It's probably a 10-20 minute drive to the last stop on either line. From there either line is well over an hour to Boston. So we should somehow treat them the same way we'd treat, say, Woburn, which is about a 25 minute ride? Also I looked and they would have put housing at a rock quarry...

I'm a little bit confused. I checked the commuter rail map and you have one line to the north, going through Leominster, Fitchburg, and ending at "Wachusett." The other line is well to the south, going through Westborough, Grafton, and ultimately ending in Worcester. Why should Holden be...

This is now the highest snow total since 2015. Here's a site with the full breakdown for Boston by year. https://www.extremeweatherwatch.com/cities/boston/most-yearly-snow Here's the annual breakdown since 2000. I highlighted the amounts that exceed the current total. We just barely eclipsed...

^^^I cheated out of curiosity and this is a heck of a tough one. Interestingly, I actually drove "through" the city on the highway multiple times, but never realized anything was there worth stopping for. I passed through the city limits 6 times in total, 3 in each direction. Good luck...

Millennium Tower is undefeated in this city. Madison Square Park Tower in NYC is the worst I've ever seen. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/5164b16ae4b0cac6e79b081f/1504670471129-078DADZWO8LZRRK47CW5/2017_08_09-Madison+Square+Park+Tower-01.jpg?content-type=image%2Fjpeg
