It means we get less for our tax dollars is what it means. But given the conversations I've had on reddit the past couple of weeks, Boston residents would be fucking psyched to pay more in taxes cuz greater good n' shit.

This also means MA is more economically attractive, meaning prices are only going to increase, and our experience with inflation locally will be greater than what the rest of the country experiences.

TLDR: It's about to become even more expensive to live around here.
