Lexington, a rich town, has a ton of green space where this can go in. Nope, they're doing it here, next door to people who live in another town, not theirs.

By the way, access to the site is going to be **through** one of those residences in Waltham. 119 Sherbourne Place is owned by the real estate place behind this project.

Why through their property on a residential neighborhood?

Because the state is very unlikley to let them build access to the site from the ramp from 2S to 128/95S. So it's easier to take the neighbors to court who eventually will run out of money for lawyers and legal fees. The state will just laugh and say "bring it on" and the state's ag will use it as another item in their resume next time their up for reelection.

It happens a lot. Rich neighborhoods outsource all of their industrial districts to poor neighborhoods. Wealth inequality is a fuckin monster.
