What's wrong with Fall River and New Bedford. I have lived in New Bedford for over 25 years and I love my neighborhood.

People generalize Fall River and New Bedford because they are cities with more affordable housing. I think people just like to look down on poor people.

100%. I’m by no means poor but man, every time I told someone I live in New Bedford, they immediately oh shocked or gasp and say something along the lines of “I’d never live there because x y z”. So annoying 🙄

I feel you, I get the same thing. I work in Wareham for UMass and most of my coworkers live on the cape. I have to defend New Bedford on the weekly from their shit attitudes about it.

Don’t even get me started on people from the cape lol, anything over the bridge for them is a downgrade 😒 Wareham and Plymouth are probably the furthest they’ll go without being snobby about it. That’s just a generalization, but definitely one kind of rooted in reality lol
