Sorry I forgot about the megacity of Buffalo in upstate NY. And the famous population density in Canada.

The winters do cause the road issues. Those other places have less traffic and pay more to fix them.

Does the city need more luxury apartments? I thought there were plenty of unsold units. They put some up at station row like 15 years ago and it's full pretty empty and was used for dorms for a while.

and you know that the commuter rail and subway operate differently right?

https://cdn.mbta.com/sites/default/files/2022-12/2022-12-12-subway-map-v37f.pdf

between north station and Malden center there are two commuter rail stops, 6 orange line stops. between south station and brain tree there are 4 commuter rail stops, and 9 red line stops. subways are for shorter distances and have more stops. the commuter rail has 13 stops from providence to south station. a subway would at the minimum have 26 stops, but probably more. with just 26 stops and waiting for a quick 2 minutes per stop that's already almost and hour of waiting without travel time. a subway isn't a good form of transportation over that large a distance.

to be fair the college only went up 1764. It's not like they have had time to adjust.

I've never actually seen a slippery slope. Just an excuse for people who don't want to do the right thing. It's literally an argument of "even though we all agree it's a good thing to do, we shouldn't do it because later we might do something that we don't do agree it's good".
