Leadership of Worcester is fully dedicated to pushing out its current residents and ushering in a different demographic.
Who the fuck can afford any of these apartments? A studio for almost 2k? No utilities included? This is a JOKE.
This is not the housing anyone is asking for. Fuck the leaders of our city.

I promise you the walls are thinner than 1 ply toilet paper.

Worcester residents want more parking sadly. They don’t understand that so many don’t want to drive in this city with hills everywhere. Improved public transit and pedestrian infrastructure is a benefit for EVERYONE. Drivers, non drivers, businesses, the city, etc, but people are extremely selfish.

I’m not tuned in politically so I couldn’t tell you what’s stopping the city govt from doing something about this, but I’m sure it has to do with money.

Article sucks. At least provide the rankings somewhere or a link to it. Smh.

Waiting for the market basket near me to open up. Quality has always been good, prices are some of the best around and usually cook what groceries I buy within a couple of days anyways. With prices of everything being astronomical right now, I’m not paying the insane Wegmans or Whole food prices.

Stop & Shop can fuck off. What ridiculous prices for the shit they have.

JFK to ORH(Worcester) and just catch an Uber. Not sure how much the one way flight costs, can’t possibly be more than renting a car and driving 4 hours. Unless you have a reason to drive, fly or hop on a train.

Great questions, no idea if these recently vacant commercial spaces already have new tenants lined up. I’m assuming the article might have shed some light on that but not able to read it. The title certainly alluded to it.

Drastic increases in residential prices has definitely negatively impacted business imp, just not enough money to go spend on a night out after paying all these bills. I think Worcester was betting on people that moved here from Boston/surrounding areas spending their money here and I’m not sure that’s happening.

Without reading the article:
Making the city unaffordable is a success? Is this some type of a joke?
Pricing out people who have lived her for decades, generations without improving the city much is a success? Got it.

ETA: article behind a paywall, based off of the two sentences I could read. Jacking up prices cause richer folks see an investment opportunity sounds like a successful strategy to me.

Can you help me understand this? I wasn’t aware the law was changing and haven’t seen anything on it.

ETA: Just googled this and this is the dumbest fucking money grab. I’m so tired of these laws that are obvious money grabs and do nothing to actually help the state. Yearly inspections are stupid in general.
