Granted, this was about a decade ago, but I used to live in Quincy. I would say, Quincy is one of the safest cities in the metro area, and I used to take the red line home at hours like that all the time, and walked to my condo there. The red line to Quincy is safe. Just be sure to take the Braintree line, not the Ashmont one because it'll fork into 2 different directions right before it heads to Quincy/Braintree. It should say on the front or sides of the train which way it's heading.

Well, thankfully this is Massachusetts, and this nutbag has no chance of winning. Because, sadly, there are areas of the country where this type of ad might actually be persuasive.

I can't see the article. But, I agree with what you just said. There are so many opportunities here to make things better for tons of people, and part of it definitely involves a buy in allowing WFH instead of the current tug of war between workers and their employers.

There's an obvious solution (at least partially) staring us right in the face...and it's the one you mentioned...forcing people to return to offices. There's no need for that. There's also no need to stop companies from coming to Boston if it was the norm to WFH. It frees up office buildings that can be made into housing. I know the implementation is not overnight or simple. But, honestly, leaders (both CEO's and politicians) have low hanging fruit, and I don't understand why they're so hell bent on having people work in offices. This should be a relic of the past by now.
