Reply to comment by TheAbleVine in Why do people keep saying downtown is so great by Accurate_Regret_5934

I think it's just sad to see a city with such potential and beautiful architecture to suffer. It would be nice for more businesses to move in to help bring more money into the city so that they can keep cleaning up litter, revitalizing canals, etc

I used to live in Somerville and moved to Lowell because the rent is much cheaper. I would be happier and would rather live in Cambridge, JP or Brookline than Lowell. I appreciate your candor, but people I know and don't know would never choose to live in Lowell if they could live in Cambridge, Brookline and JP. There is more public transit, grocery stores that are walking distance, diverse in various ways, residents are civically engaged, Cambridge and Boston have property tax breaks if the unit is owner occupied, you are closer to the airport, amtrak and sports venues. I can go on and on...
