[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have noticed this, too, specifically about Boston.

Without turning this into the 14th "DC homeless fentanyl Tenley sucks!" thread of the week ...

... does anyone know why Boston seemingly alone among large cities doesn't have the Night of the Living Dead, meth zombie encampments ?  I mean, even TEXAS / Gov. Abbott big cities now have this problem (despite their willingness to ship ppl out on a Greyhound and lock up everyone for everything)[/quote]
My relatives told me Boston forced all the poor people to move out in the 90s[/quote]

This is probably true, but basically Massachusetts is the best state on almost any measure of social well-being. Across the board in so many categories. [/quote]

False[/quote]

No, this is true. Health, education, etc. If you ask someone who looks at [b]state level data[/b] a lot (which isn’t that useful in most cases but we do it because of government), you can pretty much count on Alabama and Mississippi to be in the bottom five of everything and Massachusetts to be top five. [/quote]

The über wealthy who primarily live in and around Boston skew statewide data. There are parts of Massachusetts, especially in the central and western parts of the state, that aren't much better off than the Deep South.[/quote]
So we should ignore reality and focus on the worst-performing outliers to get the result you want?[/quote]

The outliers are the few wealthy people skewing the stats away from the vast majority by having such extreme wealth.[/quote]
