It's why traveling nurses skyrocketed last year. It's essentially a last ditch effort to keep the hospital open but a lot of the rural ones are drowning in red ink. It's the equivalent of taking out a payday loan to stay afloat.

Pretty grim future

ha ha ha thank you for proving my point

Hey now, it's horrible negativity for a reason.... usually

To make it even worse the Lego facility in Enfield is basically surrounded by CT state prisons.

Sounds like an improvement from the gas station at least.

Fuck off

If they like the city some much why don't they just build their own. They can come here but I can't go into the Lego store at Assembly Row because I do not have a child?! Typical Big Building Block behavior. It's always about Wall Street, never Main Street

One of the side effects that I haven't seen many people mention is what this statue is getting viewers to do.

When I visited it, I watched a lot of people approach it from afar with a confused look, since it looks weird from some angles. Once they got closer and it started to make sense, they seemed to enjoy it more. It was literally bringing strangers together in a co-located spot by being a confusing object. Kind of like the shiny Chicago bean.

I also noticed families and friends trying to hug each other in the same way the statue was. Don't know if that was intended, but if a statue gets people to hug more then it's good in my book.

But then they must pay a premium to the employees. In my mind being 20 min outside the city would mean likely an easier commute but you’re still close to Boston so you’re getting that boon to recruiting. Not like I’m saying they should move to north western MA

There’s plenty of nice suburbs around there though. I know a lot of people who make bank in Springfield/Hartford area, but live in nice suburbs like Longmeadow, Glastonbury, Avon, Simsbury, etc

If you didn’t agree to pay the fee (which may be agreed to by using broker services after getting the appropriate notice), then you are in good position to push back. You could tell the lawyer you’re from out of state, never heard of the fee, certainly never agreed to it, and don’t want to pay it. Next move would be theirs.

Everything except unimportant sht like status updates on Dunkin Donuts cups left in unreachable places on a train track

From a certain angle it looks like two creatures made of arms, grundle, and groin tossing each other's salad.

Wally in Dunkin swag

Could swing over to the Encore and pick up this bad boy for 28mil.

Plant a couple of pine trees and problem solved

Why? Working in Boston vs some random suburb would be huge for recruiting.

First time on /r/Boston? Horrible negativity for no reason is what this sub does best.

I get that this sub is mostly just unhappy people complaining but another way of looking at it is that Boston is so great that people are willing to pay a heavy premium to live here.

EDIT: To be clear, I don't mean that you should be happy about things costing more just that it means the opposite of what you seem to think it means. People pay more to live in a desirable place.

My wife is a physician in Boston and we have had offers to double her salary to move to remote areas of the mid west.
