Thanks friend. Same to you wherever you reside

Holyoke on hydroelectric. No I’m in south Hadley also on hydroelectric. I’m trying to buy a house in Holyoke though

Eversource and national grid energy costs are increasing 60% this winter.

It’s just getting started.

Yes. And neighborhoods where you aren’t judged by the quality of your landscaper. Those are two good starting points

Holyoke has a literal mountain, a downtown, a mall, hydroelectric power and a water reservoir that literally runs downhill. It’s future proof.

And it’s fentanyl now and nobody likes that garbage

Swap out turners with Holyoke and that list fire. Turners is cool but the people that live there are legit weird and dumb

Lexington and newton are alright but these are boomer enclaves where everyone is in bed by 8pm and the only sound you hear is the gentle hum of the occasional Tesla that drives by

For real

Those towns suck anyways you aren’t missing a thing

I was so excited to read this until I actually saw the list.

Melrose? Needham? Fucking Wellesley??!?

Did the author just drive around suburban hellscapes until he found the one with the most pleasing Audi to person combo?

These towns blow. Full of a bunch of bourgeois bullshit and the people who scamper about pretending they have value and their jobs are super duper important.

Move to a town that has a municipal owned electric company and never worry again. I did so quite accidentally 14 months ago and let me tell you it will be number one deciding factor if I ever move again. My electric was 45 bucks last month

I used to love T-Mobile and always talk about how awesome they were for a phone company.

Their customer service is still great but they are trash as a service ever since they bought sprint. I couldn’t access the app on my phone to pay my bill for the entire pandemic. I kid you not. Every month I had to call my payment in until I went on auto.

I finally switched to att and I gotta say I’m pretty pleased. The bill is always the same every month and the service is great. It’s a shame I really really liked T-Mobile

Well thank all the gods I don’t have kids then because I’d hate to make decisions based on shit like that

I deleted my comment just cause it’s really not appropriate if you were in fact dealing with this shit for 2.5 decades I was just being internet

I’m glad you got your pension and pushed through. Sorry for the ribbing

Really? Cause I just left a job in august for a similar situation . Would you care to see the final text message I sent my boss because I’d be happy to dm you. Sorry you’re projecting your spinelessness onto me.

TIL i learned “bullying” means reprimanding someone for a behavior or type of work ethic they don’t want to change.

SMH I’m a pretty open minded dude but this country is getting soft as fuck

Cute. Don’t you have a landscaper to pay or some golf balls to drive? Gag

You just listed a bunch of suburban hellholes nobody outside of boomers and people with young families want to live. I lived in East longmeadow. Absolutely hated it. Rolling blackouts everytime it sprinkles. And longmeadow infrastructure is equally crap. Holyoke has hydroelectric and a water reservoir on mt tom. You want to cling to some capitalistic scam where everyone in your neighborhood has an Audi, have a blast.

Wrong.

Holyoke has awesome highway access without having a highway plow through it, and has an infinitely better city design then springfield does. It’s closer to the five colleges and has has a freaking mountain and canals. It’s not even close. It’s always been the better city

Forest park is the only part of springfield that has a good vibe imo. Maybe some parts of the south end but it’s nothing you’d want to live in.

Well fortunately there are no lack of energy healers and homeopathic doctors in your area so you should never get sick :)

Unrelated: How does it feel moving betwix the two best states in the country?

Screw springfield it’s all about Holyoke
