The suburbs that allow the least amount of housing? How does that help someone in East Boston? Geniuinely confused here not trying tp argue.

No, you're trying to argue. There are parks and green spaces throughout Boston. It's not possible for everyone to have walking access to vast green spaces, not if you want to live in a city. East Boston has public transit just as the rest of Boston does, the green spaces Boston provides are accessible to Eastie residents.

I wasnt talking to you, I was talking to the person who suggested people in East Boston drive to West of Boston (which is insane). And yeah we could absolutely have more green space in every community. This whole "not possible" is BS.

Why is it insane to drive or take public transit to a green space? Idk where you are planning on making these green spaces. Last I checked most of the Boston/greater Boston area is developed.

Some of the suburbs of Boston have numerous multi-family neighborhoods (dorchester, Everett, Medford, Malden to name a few). These suburbs and others are the housing supply for boston. If someone built more housing in any of these suburbs or in east Boston it would help meet the insane demand for housing we are seeing in Boston. The Boston and greater boston area has 1000s of acres of already accessible greenery which is incredible considering the population of Boston. You can’t have the city life and also have every city have 100s of acres of parks.
