given it's been a commuter suburb of Boston for 40 years, that's actually a bit shocking

I don't get that at all. The people I'll be working with all live one or two towns over, they have a 45-60 minute commute. As a guy who's never had a drive to work longer than a quarter of an hour, I'm definitely not down with that. People sell their time for cheaper digs, doesn't make any sense. I'm gonna run out of time before I run out of money, that hour before and after work is priceless to me.

I agree with you but a lot don't. And there used to be a huge tax advantage to being right over the border there

45-60 minutes?!

Maybe at 5am on a Saturday with no construction

I'm not talking about the commute to and from Boston, I'm talking about places like Merrimack, Hudson, Newton etc to Nashua.
