I can't emphasize enough how against this I am as a Boston resident. While I love the Olympics and I think the 2 weeks or so would be so incredibly cool, all the BS that's associated with it won't make it worth it. And the fact that I most likely won't even get a chance to vote on this is infuriating.
Then he doesn't think most Bostonians support this.
Harry Hooper said:Beyond the MBTA, the biggest new transportation asset for the region would be a viable second airport within ~45 minutes of Boston, either via an express rail link to the Worcester Airport or an entirely new facility. Yes, both longshots for multiple reasons..
Worcester airport is not a viable second airport. It's 1,000 feet in the air and commercial planes often can't land there. And the runway isn't long enough either. That airport should have been down in Blackstone somewhere near the Pike but that ship sailed decades ago.
