Reply to comment by PsychologicalAgent64 in A new place to call home by payter_m8r

I agree it’s bad but that’s a bit of an exaggeration. A luxury apartment complex just built in my neighborhood is asking 1,600 for a 1-bed

It is not an exaggeration. As I made this comment after recently looking at many of the new units in my area, including two in Plymouth and Kingston. I'm glad your neighborhood is seemingly cheaper, but my comment is still 100% accurate.

How so?

“Nothing in Massachusetts” implies the entire state. You’re only referencing Eastern MA. In the last 2/3 years there have been plenty of apartments built that cost less than 1,800 for a studio. So it’s not 100% accurate.

According to my map, there's nothing west of Springfield other than the badlands and a note that says "here be dragons".

Did you not see the part where she specifically mentioned 495 and being able to make quick trips into Boston. Makes you wonder why I would focus on Eastern Mass huh? But who knows maybe she'll move to North Adams and enjoy the almost 3 hour drive one way. But hey, you are right, I'm wrong, you win the internet for today.

If the person is coming from TX, a trip from Springfield to Boston is a quick trip. The trip from Boston to Boston is where you get hung up.
