Holden is a adjacent community: https://www.mhp.net/assets/resources/documents/MBTA_simple_category_combo_8-4-22.jpg

I just used them as an example - and it’s a fine line because I’m not agreeing with NIMBYs - I agree need for housing, especially near mass transit should supersede trying to keep prices high in exclusionary towns, but I also get towns who are pissed because “if we comply then can we at least get the benefit of MBTA?”

Even Paxton is an adjacent small town community: https://www.mhp.net/assets/resources/documents/MBTA_simple_category_combo_8-4-22.jpg

What I don’t get is why communities which don’t have MBTA access are subject to it. Newton has a stop, yep clearly should be subject. Same with Weston, but how the heck is “Holden” - west of Worcester - an MBTA community? It’s like getting stuck with the designation but not actually getting MBTA service. I’d say if they wanna add rail service to communities willing to comply and take it away from Weston as a cost-of-access for not complying then consider that.

I’d go with the original spelling - Plimoth, but pretty cool. This should go on /r/imaginarymaps
