Lots of family from greenfield and surrounding areas - it’s a decent place to raise a family but I know the schools have struggled with funding bc of a limited tax base.

The heroin thing is true in pretty much any struggling mill town and particular true along the 91 corridor - but i can’t imagine it’s any worse than parts of the Boston area.

If I could choose a town in the pioneer valley to live in id probably go with easthampton, parts of Southampton or Holyoke if I wasn’t worried about schools (that’s a more controversial pick I think)
