12/11/2018What Gretchen meant is, "A dichotomy of staunch New England townies, preppies and Brahman intellectuals and Alternate therapy non conformists, wiccan new age hipsters and blue collar sports fans" with hourlong commutes unless their trust funds are in the 7-figures. Residing in rat-infested apartments with multiple roomies. Never getting married or having kids because the student debt is $$$$$$$$. Healthcare is the only part of Boston that's below the national average. Everything else is +++ money. Sure, Boston is pretty (for a couple months in the summer), but the cons outweigh the pros.

12/11/2018You forgot the rude personalities. Bostonians' hearts tend to freeze over in the winter, and their tempers are so fiery in the summer. Pair it with lengthy commutes and cost-prohibitive real estate, and it's NOT the best place to live and work. Not even close.

12/11/2018Driving an hour plus in snow commuting into Boston and its outskirts these past 4 winters has me convinced I need a new job search parameter. I've had it! Sure, the low crime rate is nice. But it's not the best city to work in anymore, and I could never afford to live within 40 minutes of it. The commute is what really kills it for me.
