Reply to comment by Stringgeek in Why are houses in Randolph so cheap? by Clementine823

"work subsidizes the T, but not the commuter rail" ... wtf is that shit? Would they pay you more for the rise in the cost of living to be close enough to take a T? These employers are crazy.

That's a really annoying situation. I've passed on really good jobs in the past bc commuting from the south shore is like 2hrs each way on public transport and 1.5hrs in bumper to bumper rush hour traffic if you drive. lose/lose.

Oh, taking public transportation would take longer for me, too, but it would be worth it. I could just make art on the train and relax rather than waiting for some Masshole to crash into my car while changing lanes. Unfortunately, what it’s not worth is the money.
