Walkable organic neighborhoods, and particularly a downtown that offers things past 5 oclock. Affordable housing. More activities that aren’t restaurants or bars.

One thing that I don’t think gets enough attention is trying to retain college students in the area after graduation. We have a ton of excellent universities. Especially with the growth in software/tech, some public/private partnerships to retain WPI students via startup incubation or similar would be great.

There’s no reason that someone should have to go to metrowest, 128, or the city to work in tech for example when we have so many bright kids here for four years or more.
