Reply to comment by JasonDJ in 1910 postcard “Orange, Mass. in the future” vs real life by alanboston

Have you ever lived in Boston, just curious?. I'm in New Hampshire native but lived in Boston for a decade in the south end and hands down would still live there if the situation for me were right. It was eminently walkable iand the transportation to all parts of greater Boston was easy. New Hampshire completely sucks especially the economic powerhouse of the state, Manchester, a complete disgrace

Not questionable at all if you know the numbers. It's a shithole, but also the banking center and the real estate center as well as the greatest population center

No, I live in Attleboro, work in Cambridge. Commuted by train/redline for a year, then car for a year, now WFH with occasional drive-in.

I’d thought about living in Greater Boston/Providence but don’t think I’d acclimate well to carless life (esp with two small kids), and I really dislike driving in the city.
