More NIMBY bullshit from Metrowest fat cats

To be fair, it sounds like they're complying with the mandate. What's the nimbyism here? That they don't want to?

Weston is notoriously NIMBY.

But without Metrowest NIMBYs to lean on, how will Massholes brag that our state is so superior to other states? The NIMBYs have the best schools, the best test scores, the safest towns, access to the best healthcare, the healthiest populations, etc. Without them, we're... average.

Worcester, Lowell, Framingham, Fall River -- these are not exactly cities to brag about. We need the NIMBYs so we can continue shouting at everyone that, "MA is better than your state! Just look at the stats, baby!"

Funny how Boston is never included in that list of rough cities, even though the crime and schools are comparable.

Boston always gets a pass for being the economic & cultural hub for all of New England. Their crime & school rankings may not be #1 but the city makes up for it with literally everything else -- highly-regarded companies, great restaurants & bars, lots of entertainment, multiple pro sports teams, world-class museums, world-class universities, public transpo, etc.

Fall River? Worcester? Not so much.
