Is it a dystopia?

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.

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

The most worthless title in Boston

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.
