The entire community of Brookline would agree with this.

My dead end street in Arlington got plowed before the somewhat major Street my boyfriend lives on in Brookline lol, I do notice the difference between neighborhoods

My dead end street in Brookline was plowed around 8:30am and I was really surprised they got to it that early. And then by that afternoon all the snow had melted anyway 😂

It seemed to get better last year, but this year there's only been two times that they had to plow.

I do agree. They keep trying to close off capital though which is the best way to get off of our street, since the Belgium blocks give traction that the other options do not have

I avoid Capital at all cost regardless of the weather or road conditions...I have a compact SUV so I get bounced around pretty good unless I slow way below the speed limit

fair enough. my boyfriend goes SUPER fast down capital sometimes and it feels like a super bumpy rollercoaster

I listened to an interesting article about that and why it's so hard. For example, I didn't know that there was a maximum speed for the plows before which they're just traveling faster, not removing more snow, or at least that it was so slow. Also, well, snow doesn't go away when you plow it, so yeah, it is just displacing it to someone else.

In Chicago they have to move snow out of some parts of the city with dump trunks because there is no place for the plow to just push it aside.

Top comment would be about how the suburbs are pushing all their snow into the City proper
