Where do those people who already use it live?

Who will move there when they move out to apartments on top of Braintree?

I get it, you are too young to see a perspective on life other than the one you live. Best of luck with your red line commute.

I own 3 cars, drive/bike to the Braintree MBta station for my commute.
