Is this true? As a case study, Boston’s population is about 700k, call it a million people living in a genuinely urban environment in greater Boston, of a metro area of 3 million. I think there’s more suburbanites than urbanites in most American metros.

That tunnel, rail, or subway is allowing who to get into and out of the city easier? > The Green Line Extension (GLX) project will extend the existing MBTA Green Line service north of Lechmere Station and into the communities of Somerville, Cambridge, and Medford.

- seanmcdirmid 5y agoFrom wiki: > The Green Line Extension (GLX) is a construction project to extend the light rail Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) Green Line northwest into Somerville and Medford, two inner suburbs of Boston, Massachusetts. I’m not familiar with the Boston area, are Medford and Somerville mainly urban extensions of Boston?
- thehappypm 5y agoSomerville is the main beneficiary of GLX and is basically part of the urban core of Boston, yes.
