Reply to comment by notlauren333333 in What is there to do in Worcester Massachusetts? by notlauren333333

I wouldn't move to Worcester, MA from Ireland. There are places in the US that are really nice, but Worcester isn't one of them. Actually, most of the east coast is shitty except for a few areas.

Source: I'm from the Midwest and people out here are rude and entitled. My biggest regret in life has been leaving the Midwest for the east coast. Just don't have enough money to move back and probably can't sell my house for enough in today's market.

Sounds like your experience comes from buying a home in a shitty part of town. And they're called fly over states for a reason. Not everyone has this same experience

I'm in a nice area of Worcester. Good schools, nicer homes, etc. And I also said this is most of the east coast, not just Worcester. As for the house selling, that's a market issue. Lots of houses have sold easily in this area in the past, but it's not a good market for buying houses when interest rates are almost 10%.

I also do know not everyone has the same experience. I offered my experience as someone who came from a different culture within our own country to someone who's thinking about moving from a different culture in an entirely different country.

Sounds like you have this need to defend Worcester when people in Worcester are some of the worst Massholes I've met.

As someone who is naturally introverted New England is awesome. No fake kindness/small talk with people you don't know. Being in the mid-west is ok but I could never live there.

Different strokes, I guess.

I guess it is different strokes. Everyone in the Midwest was genuine with me. People out here are nice to your face then talk about you behind your back. Very clicky too.
