Braintree would fail. Every. Single. Independent coffee shop has failed. Not sure what’s up with any retail location on either side of Washington Street but nothing lasts more than a few years if you’re not a nail salon. There are easily over 10 on one single street. Also traffic is terrible and getting worse.

Same goes for Weymouth, I know it’s completely congested by apartments built and being built, but there are a few coffee places around the landing that aren’t dunks or other horrible coffee. I’d rather cycle through different local shops than ever frequent dunks Starbucks etc. only downside is the parking. BUT…the landing and anything further down Broad is extremely walkable. Also Union Point but good luck getting a loan approved for anything in that disaster of land. No foot traffic, too much retail space going on 10+ years vacant.
