MP Was it better than spending the $15b on public transit improvements?  I grew up in the western suburbs but live in Lynn these days, which is a horror show, when you want to go *anywhere* from here, unless it's North Station. Driving in any direction, it's almost not even worth it. They've been talking about extending the Blue Line for 40 years, but it's not happening. What may conceivably get some traction is electrifying the commuter rail -- but that probably won't happen until I'm too old to hobble onto a train anymore....
