      let's look at that last pic in particular: here's the aerial view of the site from google--the condos/apartments were built after the commuter rail station opened and branded as having "great access to transit" etc...but as laughable as that is, it's not even the first problem...pic.twitter.com/sxIquITt2X

      ...which is that the train station itself got built way outside the actual center of town, beyond a highway underpass, in an undeveloped area, *even though the tracks into Boston go right past the actual town center*pic.twitter.com/jWxzfgnQTY

      By the way--wanna take a guess where the train station in this town used to be? The street names are a bit of a giveaway...pic.twitter.com/sT4N6dJUm9

      They could've rebuilt the station on its former site when the line was reopened. Instead, they put it outside of town, too far for people to easily walk, surrounded by parking. They used it as a pretext for even more sprawl, more driving, more untouched land getting built on!

      On the other hand--maybe it was for the best that the station ended up far away. There's no building here, nowhere to shelter from the weather, nowhere to eat or drink, no staff on hand, nowhere to buy a ticket, no fare gates or security...it's just a long roof lolpic.twitter.com/09nQbXr5DO

      Boston's commuter rail doesn't exactly have a good track record when it comes to stations in town centers--this is just a (very slightly) glorified sidewalk! Who in their right mind wants to wait here? Hot in the sun, wet in the rain, cold in wind or snow...boring and dangerous!pic.twitter.com/opim9RtLFB

          In an urban setting or a rural one, people need NICE STATIONS where they will be happy to spend a little time waiting. No excuses!pic.twitter.com/FsQyyUyVB9
