You did see that’s in Pittsfield, right?

The last I checked, Pittsfield was technically part of Massachusetts?

It technically is, but OP asked for “safest places to live to raise a family”…that’s not Pittsfield. Especially the family part…I definitely wouldn’t send my kids to the Pittsfield schools.

But a lot of people do send their kids to school in Pittsfield. Not everybody can afford to live in the safest town, with the best schools. A lot of people live in Pittsfield and Springfield and Holyoke and Chicopee and lead happy lives and their children do well in school.
