Thanks for the chuckle, hailing from said land of never ending brotherly love I can attest to the fact that...visiting family is about the only reason I return.

Saying that, West Cambridge and Davis Square are decent places to hide if you can afford it.

Enjoy, it's not _that_ bad ;-)

I assume the comment above is facetious but, as someone who would like to move to the US for work, I'm curious why people living in other big cities dislike Boston?

I love Boston, but the weather can be unbearably annoying at times. Massachusetts is all about extremes, with high heat and humidity in the summer and freezing cold temperatures in the winter. Combine this with a lot of rain, snow and in between and you've got Boston.

That being said, if I hadn't moved to the bay area Boston would have been my second choice. I've spent most of my life in Massachusetts though so I'm a bit bias.

Thanks. I don't like extreme cold but if that's the worse thing about Boston then it doesn't sound so bad.

I was going to say.. it looks inexpensive compared to SF!

You make a good point.
