I drove through Worcester this afternoon, and was surprised to see my roads were better (and I live on backroads near the Quabbin)

They charge us employees too; the kits only bare because it’s a weekend. On weekdays it’s packed.
They could definitely stand to have some extra parking though on campus. A good chunk of the parking is for the University, while whatever is left is fir everyone else. There was more before they built the new research building, but once they decided to build that it basically took a parking garage out of commission

You could grow potatoes in buckets or other containers, without having to move your garden

Exactly. More medical services means more jobs, better health for the region, and more money to hopefully spend on infrastructure

As someone who has lived and worked in both rural and urban MA, the rural parts of the state could use more investments. There is definitely a lack of medical services in my area, for example, and much of the infrastructure needs work (just like the entire state).
The problem is the population of rural MA, and the taxes they bring in. Urban MA is the economic power in the state, and contributes a higher share to the state coffers due to population and taxes. As a result, it gets a higher share of the budget than rural areas.
Further development in rural areas, however, could be of use to the whole state. Incentives for people to move to/live and work in rural areas could help restart and strengthen our local economies. Better health infrastructure would help alleviate or manage chronic health problems in underserved areas, as well as providing new jobs, helping the residents and providing more income for the areas. More investment in rural areas could mean better returns in the future for everyone.

No, not because you’re not being “hateful enough.” I’m guessing calling it a “mental health situation” sounds like you’re excusing his actions as not done with clear mind. Based on the article, he was well aware, and proud of, what his was doing.
Honestly, probably just a wording issue that’s getting the downvotes.

I remember when I lived on the side streets. The plow would maybe make one pass. If we were lucky or the snow was deep enough
