Reply to comment by Marco_Memes in A new report found that Mass. has the highest GDP per capita in the country and is among the states least dependent on federal dollars. by truthseeeker
MA has the second highest cost per mile for road construction in the US. It is literally twice what it costs to build in Hawaii.
HAWAII....
Where literally everything has to be shipped in.
Wonder who is hoovering up all that cash.

Probably the idiots in charge? We all know the T is run by incompetent fools, but that doesn’t make mass transit a bad thing to invest in bc once you have some mass firings you’ve got the problem fixed. Either way their always expensive, that’s why the roads are bad EVERYWHERE. Every state complains about the roads because even where it’s cheap it’s still to expensive

MA roads are Alabama bad though.
And yeah, mass transit is great. Sadly, nobody on Beacon Hill wants it.

Never mind the impracticality of transferring enough of the entire state’s driving to MBTA stops to offset our road damage.

Unless the system was expanded and made frequent and affordable. Oh, and made to go above 7 mph.
