I’m in my 30s and I don’t want to live in western MA. It’s nice, but I like density and walkability, and I like the ocean. I don’t think I’m the only person over 30 who feels the same way.

By all means, transit to western MA would be great. But not everyone wants to be a 2 hour train ride from the coast.

Also, since when do people over 30 not care about bars and restaurants? We might not care at all about being out until 2am, but we still like to get dinner or hang out with friends.
