Thinking of moving to Massachusetts

Foxx · 08-26-17, 01:34 AM

DAmn. 2 hour commute. That sounds rough.

VeggieDog · 08-26-17, 02:17 AM

I always assumed Mass was a high tax state. But doing a little Googling shows that they are a little below average. Unless I did something wrong.

I live in Massachusetts and definitely recommend it. Finding an affordable place in metro Boston will probably be your toughest challenge, but wages are so high and there's so much to do here that it's worth putting up with.

A relative became sick and needed a caregiver. I miss Vegas, but family comes first and in most ways Boston > Vegas anyway.

North of the city Newburyport, Salem, Gloucester, and Marblehead are all cool suburbs/small cities on the ocean and within 2 hours drive from Boston. Newton is a great suburb and would be the shortest commute, but also the most expensive.

I'm not as familiar with the south shore, but those towns/cities tend to be cheaper and more rough around the edges.

Northeast best place to live. West coast is all fruit loop queers. South is all dumb rednecks and Midwest is all boring rednecks.

You will instantly become 10% smarter and 30% tougher.

Capitols44 · 08-26-17, 07:08 PM

Colleges are good there as far as smart elite people go. But its too liberal and people think because they heard something from a professor or read it in a book and have a degree it makes them smart. Usually all common sense goes out the window.Also just because you make a high salary does not make it worth it. It depends on the laws,taxes,weather,real estate prices,schools and most important jobs. Some of the better places to live in the u.s. have major universities there think austin texas home of university of texas or Columbus ohio home of OSU.

Capitols44 · 08-26-17, 07:13 PM

I always thought it would be nice to visit the real cheers bar based on the tv show in boston.Also the sports teams are great there.

Jnas · 08-26-17, 08:18 PM

Massachusetts sucks. Unless you live right outside Boston your commute will be well over an hour either by car or train. The weather sucks always cold and people are rude and unfriendly. They also tax us to death here . The only thing good is the schools and the seafood is awesome. I lived her my whole life and if it weren't for my kids I would probably move.

I already commute well over a hour but the weather was something I didn't seriously consider

Excuse me the midwest is far from boring red necks. I dont consider having one of the best college football programs OSU always in the running for the national championship boring. Or try growing up in Detroit michigan you may consider its living life on the edge but definitely not boring or redneck. Another great place midwest chicago.

Funny you could say the same things about new york except for the schools.

Your gonna get a good tongue lashing from a moderator here named: 'Optional' (Yes, OPTIONAL) for using a derogatory word in reference to homosexuals, just sayin'.

Don't be a damn bandwagonner! Midwest is the place to be in spite of the weather.

Ralphie Halves · 08-28-17, 01:22 AM

Buddy of mine lives in New Hampshire, which is like all suburbs now, and commutes into Boston a lot by train. Loves it.

The Kraken · 08-28-17, 08:23 AM

Good luck pal

Seattle is great but it's hard to justify continuing to live here. We just moved to Yarrow Point in Bellevue and hopefully we can stay here until I get vested in the state pension, then we're out of here. Too expensive, too crowded, too liberal

Why do you assume I was referencing homosexuals?

I have been to Columbus even been to an Ohio State football game. Both very boring just like the whole Midwest. Everything too slow there. Not as bad as the dirty south though. I will give you that.

Boston run by communists and legislature has been notorious for its criminal element.

Working class Whites....stay away

Members of the morally self-righteous elite.....come on down.

The derogation of homosexuals is a felony.

The derogation of Whites (rednecks)....gets you to the top of the class.

Growing up in the Greater NYC area, there is a certain element of rivalry between Boston and New York. Went to Salem, MA last year, certainly would consider moving to that area. Fall is beautiful, its close to Boston, the people were nice. Never really been to the west coast, so I can't compare, but it is a nice area.

Northeasterns get a bad rep, but people aren't out right hostile. They are just less outgoing and more suspicious of strangers. People are surprised when they move here that the neighbors don't show up with baked goods. They are then happy that their neighbors leave them alone, and don't involve them with bullshit.

yeah for sure i understand you wanna live where someones out to take advantage of you and is a fast talker. you could not handle any rural area at all. Try going to Alaska or Montana if you think Columbus ohio is to slow.

This is the same in residential Las Vegas. I love not knowing my neighbors that well. The last thing I want is to be involved with their lives, and have them poking around mine. Everybody's cool and all, but a smile and a wave is as far as we go.

There's plenty of after hour joints, if you like spending 12 bucks for a drink.
Speaking of joints, pot is legal there now.
Another thing about Boston, last call is to damn early.

Taxes are fairly high, not as high as people make it out to be, I'm in Connecticut, that's where the tax robbery is.
I'm taxed on everything.
