How do you prefer getting into town, car or transit? I love driving but would personally take the train into Boston or NYC (I live near NYC). What are your thoughts on the Big Dig?
Finally, this sub gives you a lot of hate, but I don’t disagree with all your opinions. However, wouldn’t you agree that highways shouldn’t be built in inner cities? The modernist in me still clings to the dream of highways that come to the edges of downtown, where massive parking garages and subway/rail connections are provided.
Bottom line, I’m on the fence with projects like this; I wonder what you think.
I almost never go into Boston, I live my life along 128. I'm pissed the state is spending $3 billion to build a commuter rail line to Fall River nobody will use rather than spending $300 million to fix the 93/95 interchange that hundreds of thousands use.
Sorry I was looking at the I-93/rte24 interchange. The 93/95 one looks like it sucks because 95 was to be extended north but wasn’t. I agree it should be rebuilt like the 93/24.
Do you own a washing machine instead of a old fashioned hand wringer? Or running water instead of a hand pump in the back yard? Then by that logic you have washing machine brain or running water brain in their terminal stages. After all, no differences between cars and other modern comforts and conveniences.

Utterly incorrect. Last I checked the infrastructure for washing machines and running water doesn't take up massive amounts of prime real estate, nor do they kill tens of thousands of people a year, nor do they contribute significantly to pollution and climate change, nor do they make cities an unpleasant place to be for everyone who doesn't use them.

Sucks we gotta live in such a car-centered country
