Supermajority Democratic Party but governs like half of the politicians are Republicans and do almost nothing to advance legislations. No wonder. Corruption and Lack of Transparency all to keep the Supermajority.

In Massachusetts, it is NIMBY Suburban Democrats with Libertarian Republican Governors in opposition. Both the Governor and State Legislature have been unwilling to improve the MBTA since Bill Weld.

They are facing a crime wave on public transit similar to what NYC has been through.

Not really. MBTA has gotten worse than SEPTA but it is better than most transit systems in the USA where it is virtually non-existent.

In an ideal world, we would cut transit fares and raise gas taxes, tolls, and fees like other countries where progressives claim to want to emulate. However even suggesting raising gas prices here even by a couple of cents is like a third rail of politics. Even raising transit fares so the users have to pay for it would make sense for the average American voter but it will literally discourage transit usage as transit fares have increased faster with inflation than gas taxes have.

The incompetence of the State Legislature still continues under Baker and now Healey.

Another sign of gentrification. We need to stop this madness of adding new tall buildings.
