PTSD is hyperbolic obviously. But it was pretty bad to live through and I didn't even live in the city. And it was hugely over budget and schedule. Fortunately, thanks to Tip O'Neill the rest of the country at least paid most of the bill. Thanks for that!

But, at the end of the day, it was a huge improvement for Boston even if traffic is still mostly pretty bad. Just getting rid of the elevated highway to reconnect downtown to the North End is a big improvement for the city--as is airport access which was pretty ridiculous before.
