Reply to As of Aug 2022, the median millennial household income was $106,661. People making at or close to the median household income that are buying houses in MA, where are you able to buy? by BoOo0oo0o
We bought in the Merrimac Valley and tbh we probably paid too much but beats living in a rotting 1 bedroom in Allston.

It’s a region in the state in the hills: https://berkshires.org/
Worcester is in central MA. Western MA is even further west than Worcester.

I live in Eastern MA to be close to family but if I didn’t have to be here for them, I would move to western MA in a heartbeat. The Berkshires are great. Everything is just further away out there so you might have to drive further to go shopping for instance, but there’s less traffic than eastern MA.

Read up on the Satanic Panic. It happened all over the country and even in Canada. Police departments did all sorts of shady things to convict people of crimes they didn’t commit. There are some good podcasts on the subject too.

You’re right, my bad. Hard to keep the lunatics differentiated.

He made that stupid 10000 Mules movie that has the MAGAs up in arms about non-existent voter fraud. Guess he went national.

The season 5 finale gave me an honest to goodness panic attack. I can’t bring myself to watch season 6.
