Get yourself a T map then a Metro Boston map then you can judge just how far things are from down town I have on a commuter train watching the expressway going at a standstill many times thanking the gods I’m not driving. If you consider most of your responders the majority would not drive Con cider the cost of a flight coast to coast vs driving or selling the car (they do have car dealers and car max here) Each of the three choices north shore south shore or metro west have commuter service and each have a mixed d bag of incomes Good Luck
