Reply to comment by [deleted] in They’ve Been Warned: Attorney General Says Suburbs ‘Must Comply’ With Transit-Oriented Housing Law by psychothumbs

Maybe I am misunderstanding your comment, but I have never understood why the state doesn't incentivize businesses to move outside of 495.

Make Worcester/Springfield a desirable destination for businesses. The housing market would definitely cool down if the state made other cities viable.

You would really need to clean Springfield up a bit. I really don’t see that happening with that low class casino in the middle of downtown.

How? I think it’s more racist for you to think that I was talking about race. And not the crime or the literal trash everywhere and the prostitutes or the buildings that are still destroyed from that tornado what 12 years ago.

Why did you pick the most diverse area in Springfield to deny the thought of the state incentivizing businesses moving there?

Oh yes I forgot that low class casino is a dog whistle.

Nothing low key about what you said.

You picked the most diverse area in Springfield (downtown) and said it was not suitable for businesses because it needs to be cleaned up.

It is normal to not recognize your own internalized racism.

You should be demanding that businesses move to areas with a majority minority population instead of finding excuses why they shouldn't.
