Plus, everyone with even the smallest amount of money, wants to be clean; it's an incredibly basic need. Alcohol will probably always been a good form of barter too.

Doubtless you're part of a fairly large demographic... that's part of the problem which has no easy solution.

I see, and you're right I can't think of any other options in the area. MA is great for a lot of things, but the lower population definitely means it takes a hit for services you'd see in NYC, Chicago or SF.
