Thank you so much for the recommendation!!

Absolutely. I just remember my parents house was near a small airport with a ton of private jet traffic in a different state. It was absolute trash living in a place like that.

It was a fucking bb gun dude grow up

Move Logan to Hanscom, extend the Red Line there, revert the current Logan to half housing and half salt-marsh, and convert the Ted Williams/Silver Line to rail.

I agree, thanks. I was asking which hospital affiliation I should steer toward when looking for doctors.

I've heard the same thing - Baystate is the best but their wait times are insane!

Exactly what we need. Private jet traffic and pollution in a national heritage site.

I feel like Baystate has the best quality, theoretically. Their problem though is that they always seem to be ridiculously overcrowded.

The best experience I’ve ever had, by far, was at Holyoke Hospital. Went in with a collapsed lung for a few days and there was legitimately a nurse stopping in my room every hour on the hour to check my vitals and give me another in an endless series of mobile X-rays. They were all over me so much that I actually began to believe that I was in much worse shape than they were telling me.

The care there was so good that the one time something happened to me since that time, I requested to be taken there without hesitation.

Meanwhile, I live in Westfield. Unless you need an aspirin or a couple of stitches, stay far far away from Noble Hospital. I don’t know a single Westfield resident that doesn’t have a horror story about that place.

>increase potential for water contamination (for which Hanscom has a poor record)

So /u/Eniminimynimoe, why don't you explain how this is going to happen?

>and pose an extra burden on environmental justice communities.

Because they do so much now other than write posts like this and block traffic?

>The benefits go mainly to private companies and wealthy individuals, not the surrounding communities of Lincoln, Bedford, Lexington, and Concord.

Uh, aren't those where the wealthy individuals live? And spend their money? Any pay taxes? Looks like it has great benefits.

Which stuff like this will make it incredibly attractive to more operators.

If it's private jets, they're small and won't amount to much traffic. So what's the issue?

Of course, you should actually read the OP

When was the last time you went? Because the local area has BANGING restaurants. The Cove, Tipsy Toboggan, Tipsy Seagull, Sagres... All places with great food and drink.

Everyone who lives in those towns moved in knowing there's an Air Force base there. They used to have regular air shows and I toured a C17 there about 20 years ago.

If you moved in and didn't do your research, don't expect sympathy.

Unnecessary for who? Someone obviously thinks they’re necessary

I think you’re asking the wrong question. You need the best primary care physician, OB/Gynecologist, and pediatrician in your area who is accepting patients. Other than childbirth, you’re unlikely to set foot in a hospital.

Healthcare in Hartford is generally better than healthcare in Springfield. It’s far more affluent. It is a top-20 metro for median household income. It’s easier to attract strong physicians. The Medicaid mix is better. It has a medical school and teaching hospitals.

I think it’s legal but not sure it’s a great idea, depending on if the other person would sue you if you crash.

The heritage of New England systemic racial and class injustice dictates that communities near Logan Airport must be the ones who suffer from the environmental impacts of air traffic because the poor minorities who are more likely to live there are less likely to use air transport than the residents of Lincoln, Bedford, Lexington, and Concord.

Wikipedia claims it is the largest collection of WWII vessels but doesn't have a citation. But yeah, for sure like... San Diego definitely has more naval vessels..

How devastating for so many people, especially the family but the ripple effects are also tremendous. My heart is especially with the parents and family. Absolutely heartbreaking.

Baystate without a doubt, especially with an unborn child. I delivered my baby there and had a great experience. I also got most of my prenatal care there (switched from Cooley because I was not happy with their treatment of a potentially serious medical concern). Absolutely no frills at all, but the only place I'd trust with my care in this region.

Denise Desellier from Real Living is amazing she's constantly ranked among the best in New England and got my mom into an amazing house, she also does a lot with renting low and high end if your looking to do that. The condos they have on the market are amazing as well
