I used to miss living in the middle of everything… but after 6 years of living out here - I don’t miss traffic, the noise, the asshole neighbors living upstairs, the noise, being able to help my next door neighbors do the dishes by reaching though my kitchen window, lack of parking…

That’s interesting. I think that will be my biggest thing. Not being immersed in a variety of great shops and food within a 10min walk, and nearly the entire city within 30min T rides, and just about damn everything within an hour. I am lucky with where I specifically live being on a quiet street and in a dense neighborhood on the T.

If you want a nice city, but cheaper, check out Chicago. The winters will be more brutal however. Food is a ton better though.

I’ve never been. It’s not in the cards right now, but I have had a mental note with that in mind.

Depending on your schedule/planning ahead you can get some dirt cheap flights to Chicago from Boston, would highly recommend it.
