Boston has been killing their nightlife for 20+ years now

this city doesn't even let you buy booze on Christmas

[–] NaturalViber@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

My whole state doesn't. Can't even buy beer before 12pm on Sunday.

director of nightlife economy

Is it a dystopia?

[–] IsThisAnAI@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Boston has over a 1000 bars and over 3000 restaurants.

What a stupid idea to have someone represent and try to help support events, districting, and promotion. It's not like these businesses bring in 5M of tax revenue or anything. What a silly and dystopian thing to have someone working on favorable conditions there.

Dystopian wow.

You're saying Boston bars and restaurants only pay an average of $1250 in taxes? That seems very low to me.

[–] IsThisAnAI@lemmy.world -1 points 1 week ago

Quack googling, seemed low but even low it demonstrated the point.

The most worthless title in Boston

[–] FireTower@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

But at least it sounds like they know how to have a good time.

Unlike the rest of the NIMBYs that make Boston night life fucking miserable.
