Why are people in this thread talking like wealthier areas are more likely to vote no? Middlesex county voted yes (2nd in per capita income), and Bristol county voted no (2nd to last in per capita income).

Lots of people vote according to their politics, not their self interest.

Thanks, my husband is from Middlesex county and it’s a lot richer imo. But I’m nearing 40, so I remember when Ipswich and Rowley were farms and poor folk and Newburyport was livable at the poverty line. It’s just always seemed very liberal to me here.

I mean, we weren’t. My family has been in Rowley since it was founded. I guess it’s just confirmation bias 🤷‍♀️
