Reply to comment by gregzhoba in The lack of homes could strangle our life sciences industry: Why the concentration of biopharma in Cambridge and Boston would ratchet up costs, exacerbate the housing crisis, and pitch the region from its throne. by writethefuture3

Yea, not really, and these companies have a lot of difficulty hiring good talent. Astrazeneca built a sprawling headquarters in Waltham and then abandoned it only a few years later for Cambridge because they couldn’t compete

as always around here, that's just a transit problem.

I would have no problem living in Boston and working in Waltham, except the only available option is the commuter rail, and then getting to the actual office would involve... an Uber? or shuttle? no idea.

Personally I would prefer working in Kendall with or without transit. Networking in the beating heart of an industry is a very real thing.

But yes you are right
