Ooh this is a thread I’m oddly qualified to comment.

I grew up in the greater Boston area and lived in Cambridge as an adult.

I moved to Washington almost two years ago.

I prefer Washington. I like the weather, the nature, the sound, I like my proximity to Seattle and Portland, I find the people are friendlier. I also prefer the time zone for sports.

I have a sentimental attachment to Boston, but I don’t think I’d live there again. Too expensive and difficult to get around. (Although my cousin and I call 5 our 128). Don’t miss the T breaking down all the time. Too much snow.
