That's what happens to cities that add tens of thousands of new jobs then blocks the construction of housing for said new workers. You can't afford a home within 30 miles of Boston on the median household income of the city. So everyone lives 30 miles away and clogs highways, causing that 30 mile commute to turn into a 2 hour drive. Except upper management who can afford a $600k condo next to the office building, and are completely bewildered at why their employees hate their commutes.

600k condo's the company pays for them as an employee perk.

Youre gonna want to report that as imputed income.

Bro, upper management isn't living in 600k condos, try 800k-1million. Either that or they're living in a single family home very close-by that goes for like 3mil.

Commuter railways into Boston would help, surely. Americans are mental.

Boston has good public transit though so that helps

As someone who lives in Boston that’s more true in theory and less in practice - the transit here is literally and figuratively a dumpster fire

Where is this good public transit of which you speak? Living in Boston suburbs vs NJ/CT commuting to NYC is like night and day
