Reply to comment by BovaDesnuts in People are leaving Mass. Thoughts? by Original_Musician103

By the way, where do you think Springfield gets his water from? It draws water from a variety of small hill towns in the valley. Springfield depends on the entire valley to function. Where do you think people who use the businesses in Springfield live? Elsewhere in the valley you’re being very shortsighted in offensive with your statements, and you can’t back any of it up with evidence.

So maybe, and I'm just spitballing here, public transit in Springfield might, say, reduce congestion and car dependency in the area and make it a more attractive location to set up shop for people not working in labs in Boston?

I'm not opposed to regional transport, I'm very specifically opposed to the expansion of the Boston Metro. That's a concern I haven't seen addressed.

The east west rail is NOT the MBTA. It can connect and work in conjunction with the MBTA. And you can’t just spitball with no evidence. Try reading the earth of documents that have been a published that I linked you too. And perhaps submit questions to the PVPC about the impacts of a trolley system in Springfield. Because it’s been rejected as a viable idea a bunch of firm. They’ll have peppers to back it up

Metro area, not MBTA. You know. Metro West, but further west. The W towns, if you don't know where that is.

I did. They're... not encouraging. It pretty much confirms my concerns that they're just looking to expand the Boston metro

Now now, you and me both know you can't prove a negative.

I have real work to do voting against you. No rail to Boston if I can help it
