Reply to comment by chavery17 in A new report found that Mass. has the highest GDP per capita in the country and is among the states least dependent on federal dollars. by truthseeeker

Drive on any road in western mass, or visit any hospital, or visit any city. Springfield, chicopee and Holyoke are embarrassing.

Try leaving the state. Have you ever been down south, or west of New York? Western Mass could be better, it’s certainly got lots of potential, but it’s not even close to equivalent to lots of other parts of the country (largely due to state programs).

I've been in 48 of 50. Western mass is decent. But not good compared to most of the northeast and west coast

Or try getting addiction treatment in those states. They want addicts to die, full stop.
