The plot of land they are offering in Boston is Suffolk downs. So its outside of Boston proper, has a ton of space, is right on the T, and has easy access to Logan airport. Plus its proximity to schools you pointed out and its tech scene make it appealing.
I actually think Boston has a decent chance, along with Denver, Atlanta, and DC.
- ghaff 9y agoAh right. I don't live in the city so I hadn't really kept up with developments after the bid for a casino location there was rejected a few years ago. Presumably, if that was a legitimate bid at least someone thought you could move a lot of people in and out of the area. Traffic still isn't great around there but, yeah, you're right on the Blue Line (which is... OK I guess) and you're practically next door to the airport. If it happened, good luck if you've been living in East Boston because it's relatively cheap, albeit somewhat gentrifying.

- ghaff 9y agoYeah, I meant the Suffolk Downs location bid, not the casino project overall. (Unfortunately.)
- leggomylibro 9y agoHuh, cool - I don't know much about their bid, so I guess I was sort of talking out my ass. I still probably wouldn't move back if they got it, having experienced and possibly been broken by Seattle. But...I dunno, it'd probably be a net good for the area, so good luck to them.
