We're talking about what's already an area covering over 4 million people. If you want to grow that, with Boston serving as a hub, imagine the traffic with 6 or 8 million people all trying to drive into then out of the city at the same time every day. Let alone getting to the other places without a car

I don't recommend space heaters as that will kill your electric bill. Those are only typically worth it if you have a whole house/apartment but only need heat in one room as that's then a trade-off. If it's only at night that's your issue you can also get a sleeping bag that's what I used to do when I lived in an apartment that was from the early 1800s, covered the windows then used a sleeping bag + wool blanket + quilt just grab your morning clothes and get back in to warm em up and keep slippers nearby so your not walking around on cold floors

Wasn't gonna down vote you until you whined about being down voted. There are kits for insulating windows. Get the plastic wrap looking stuff and then layer with blankets over the whole window frame. If there's any visible gaps plug them as best as you can. Also see what you can do about the heat you can usually (but not always) adjust radiators and vents. You can also try one of those tea light ceramic heaters, I've never tried one but I have some old school candle lanterns for camping and they can kick off some heat

Only reason I can think is because the only alternative is $1600 or more. If adults made that decision for themselves whatever. I wish we lived in a world where nobody had to live here but I'm guessing they probably don't have a lot of options and it's better than jumping off a bridge.
