Or D) drive drunk and endanger the people around them.
Or I suppose pay expensive Ubers or live somewhere they can walk, but I imagine there's lots of instances of D.

I meant late night ridership. It's been tried a few times and canned because the trains aren't packed.
NYC is much better won't as argue that. But Boston is sadly in the top 5 for US public transit.

The title is a great idea, is this actually a good plan to get there? I've only skimmed it so far but in the vein of making it a 24 hour city I couldn't find anything about extending mbta hours. From other comments here zoning/late night permit logic seems to be missing some notes.
Kinda worried this 24 hour neighborhood in name approach leads to a few bodegas opening up and declaring mission accomplished

Yeah, I just went through their plan. They even cite Paris extending transit hours as something other cities are doing they can learn from but I couldn't find any mention of bringing back late night service.
People can complain about its ridership not being high but you absolutely cannot be a 24 hour city with trains shutting down at midnight.
