Boston MA. full of ‘progressive’ liberals who hate anyone who isn’t part of the economic top 10% and engages in conspicuous consumption. my car is also not luxury priced hybrid or EV, so I’m clearly a loser POS who wants to ‘destroy’ the environment.
and when i tell them my car gets 40mpg, more than most hybrids do, they just tell me to f myself and i clearly love big oil.
I also own a condo in a 130 year old building. Get told what a ‘shithole’ it is… because it’s not 2000sq ft modern luxury crap construction.
Everything is appearances. Nothing is truth or substance.
Boston:
The people? Rough.
The weather? Also tough.
Rent? High.
But the food? …Also bad.
J/k man, hopefully people can eventually understand that you recycling/maintaining a high mpg car is way more effective than buying something new under the guise of efficiency.
i love the weather and the rent is affordable to me. the people used to be awesome before all the tech yuppies moved in with their endless agonizing about how hard their lives are.
try living in a new ‘luxury’ building where the walls are paper thin, you can hear your neighbors business, and it’s falling apart because it’s made of the cheap shoddy materials. but it looks all shiny and nice!
plaster is quiet as fuck and old brickwork lasts forever.
oh for sure, especially boston.
bunch of cheap shit thrown down by private equity REIT’s just price gouging yuppie college kids/families fir every $ they can.
idk though, the century old buildings always seem to have mold/airflow issues ime.
i don’t live in a wet environment. zero issues with anything in the 6 years i’ve lived here than old appliances needing to be replaced when they break.
If you don’t mind my asking, where do you live? It baffles me that people would get upset over what car you drive.

Same out here in California, sadly.
"You know that black glass rectangle in your pocket? How about a new one, with 4 cameras instead of 3? Only $8500!!! "
" Man I can’t believe I only got a $20k raise this year, how am I supposed to afford my Tesla cyberdump?? "
… Etc
yep. here it’s mostly agonizing about their 20K vacations not being fancy enough.
i don’t think i’ve ever spent more than 2K on a vacation.
if it’s 130y old it probably is a shithole tbh
