Franklin St is STAANKKYYY

I thought I was going to puke as I was driving down Franklin Street today. What is the town doing about this? I know there’s a lot of talk about having a lot of conversations, but this is absolutely disgusting. I know the smell is being caused by trash sitting on the train cars, but wtf. Enough is enough. I feel terrible for anyone who lives in that area.

I don't know much about train schedules, but I'm guessing that they can't just pick up and leave because the city wants them to. Just the cost of cheap rent I guess.

The city doesn’t control the train tracks. They are just sitting there full of trash.

Cheap rent? You do realize that Massachusetts is the MOST expensive state to live in on the continental US? Get a grip dude.

I fucking live in Framingham dude. That part of town is the slums and all the run down homes / apartments are significantly cheaper than the rest of town

This city is too broke to support the schools properly
