Nice to read for a change that Atlanta is stealing Boston jobs because our residents are well educated | Get Schooled

I read this article...good news. I just hope the city doesn't rest on its laurels and continues to produce an upwardly mobile, diverse and intelligent populous. Who wants to live in Boston anyway?

LMAO I know, it's just funny. Something told me to look and there they were the talking points.

You have no idea....no idea. Welcome to a taste of Bay State attitudes.

Looks like the Bostonians are as brainwashed by the "no place is as good as our city" as the folks in NJ are. Blah, blah, blah....

WOW, I've just read all of the comments. One person said that anything south of Philly is just "flyover country on the way to Orlando"...ridiculous. That was a nice laugh though.

Would building more "units" in the outer counties of Boston really bring their home costs down? Could you explain that please? A new "unit" in boston would be more expensive it seems.

Exactly, Lovin! I was thinking the same thing...it's so funny what Northeasterners do/say to make themselves feel better about where they live.

Yes.

Some of the comments (from the Boston Globe and the AJC Blog) echoed the truth though...

1. The impossibility of buying a house in Boston Metro unless you inherit.

2. The lack of very high-quality public universities in Mass.

3. Boston--for students or the rich. Anyone in between--not a smart place to live.

4. The over-regulation of many things--especially land use.


*Boston Metro benefits from having a large influx of students every year (replenish--some end up staying by default upon graduating). Otherwise, I think the population would start dropping fast.
