Lol you actually think these slow zones on the T will get fixed in the next months or years? How long have you been living in Boston?

Reddit bot, remind me about this post and comment l in 6 months.

Just look back to the Winter of 2015, the T was in similarly terrible shape and never really has returned to full, reliable service.

Do you have a link to that study? That doesn't make any sense.

Also, what about the hot water running through the plastic k-cup and contaminating the coffee with endocrine disruptions and nasty flavors?

This study showing lots of endocrine disruptors, including BPA, in plastic capsule coffee is pretty clear:

"Benzophenone was the most frequently detected estrogenic chemical in capsule coffee (mean concentration ± SD: 20.37 ± 47.07 ng/mL, n = 6), followed by bisphenol A (BPA, 0.31 ± 0.71, n = 4), dibutyl phthalate (1.41 ± 3.58, n = 3), 4-nonylphenol (0.67 ± 1.82, n = 3) and bisphenol F (BPF, 0.49 ± 1.54, n = 2). BPA and BPF were each detected in 3 French press coffee samples (0.29 ± 0.58 and 0.85 ± 1.75 ng/mL, respectively).

Not exactly, and it's a much larger problem than just plastic in waterways.

Most plastic waste, such as that from from plastic bottles and bags, is not recycled and is either incinerated like at the huge incinerator up in Saugus, or at 10+ other incinerators across Massachusetts, or put in landfills.

When you burn plastic, its releases all kinds of toxic chemicals into ghe air and water, which have severe health impacts (Source: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S187802961630158X ).

"The hazardous brominated compounds act as carcinogens and mutagens. Dioxins settle on the crops and in our waterways where they eventually enter into our food and hence the body system. These Dioxins are the lethal persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and its worst component, 2,3,7,8 tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD), commonly known as agent orange is a toxic compound which causes cancer and neurological damage, disrupts reproductive, thyroid and respiratory systems."

So what about the lack of Climate Change-causing emissions from EV cars? Can you explain how not emitting CO2 is bad for the planet?

And, this criticism of EVs seems like a lot of speculation and lacks sources. Could you provide some valid and reliable source links (e.g., peer-reviewed scientific research) about your points?

What if massive deposits of cadmium and lithium ore are discovered in the future?

Yeah, the whole Greater Boston area is extremely expensive, so not surprised.

Where are you traveling from? You might be able to find something cheaper in Lawrence, or Southeastern New Hampshire.

Yeah, I agree, it's pretty rough.

OP has some concerning post and comment history to say the least, so I'm not entirely sure what the true intent of this post was.

Okay, OP, I'm not sure what you're trying to start or prove here with this post about Gentrification in the Boston area and it seems like you're very new here on r/boston .

Your post and comment history, including a strong hatred of cats and posting in a sub with discussions about killing cats, and posts and comments about harming yourself are very concerning.

Have you sought counseling or professional help for these issues?

Honestly, talking with someone in-person would likely be a lot more helpful than posting about Gentrification and posting really critical comment replies to other people.

What do others think? Honestly, this person's post and comment history are really disturbing.

Can we create a new r/movingtoBoston Sub for these types of posts, please?

There is r/Bostonhousing, but that is more for specific housing listings or people seeking housing.
