Massachusetts' "Gateway Cities"

[Arlington]

Gateways to what, a life of heroin abuse?

If we're to let our prejudices hijack everything, I'd say that's Larchmont, NY talking. I'm proud that Massachusetts has not been as condescending and cruel to its beyond-the-MBTA-district milltowns as NY has to its beyond-the-MTA-district towns.

If you begin by remembering that people and physical things are assets, you see the potential in these places. They are the wealth of nations.

If the only assets you know are IP and financial, well, you're going to miss a lot, and I'm tempted to suggest progressive taxes to reconnect you with reality.
