Has working and living in space reached the point where we can afford to provide accessibility? That's a pretty remarkable milestone tbh

🤷♂️, beats me. I remember when I lived in Beverly, Salem had old replica boats sailing out near the Beverly channel and occasionally fire off blanks from the cannons. Always scared the shit out of me because it was a terrifying boom. Maybe a similar tour made it up the few miles further north?

MA is a great candidate for nuclear. There is no place on earth less susceptible to natural disaster than New England.

Reply to If you had to choose between these four counties/towns, which one would you choose? by ActuatorHoliday346
Boston is a pretty easy choice here. Would be awesome if I could afford to live there. Better question would be "Where outside of Boston", in which case, Worcester

Nothing will ever match up to Funspot 🥲
Another option is Bitbar in Salem, pretty cool spot and games that aren't like $2/play like A4cade 😅

Get rekt Tuvalu; should have thought of that when you decided to flood the earth with carbon emissions. Now you will reap the consequences of your own actions

Ahhh, nice catch 😅. Idk why I read that as "Boston", must have skimmed too quickly

Reply to moving to MA by allyntote
Check out the North Shore! Personally I highly recommend downtown Beverly. Great bar/restaurant scene all in walking distance of each other, 30-35 min from Boston by train, wicked safe and affordable. Not to mention, walking distance to the beach too
EDIT: Disregard me! I read your initial post as your job is in Boston, didn't see Raynham!

Worcester is a very cool city if you can find something in downtown, very walkable and has a commuter rail that can get you right into south station, and from there you're a short silver line ride away to Logan.

OP said "up to an acre", and I imagine they're a bit unfamiliar that average lot sizes in MA are way smaller then what may exist in other states. $900k is plenty to find what they're looking for in a ton of different neighborhoods.

Logan is the biggest ya, but TF Green is also a practical option as well. When I grew up in Canton I used to check flights both out of BOS and PVD and fly out the latter at least 30% of the time.

What do you mean? $900k can easily buy you something with woodsy views within 30 min of Boston. Maybe not Dover or Weston, but you can finding something in Canton, or Norwood, and several other towns.

You would be much better off asking what neighborhoods to maybe avoid. Literally 90% of the Boston area is an absolutely lovely place to live. Some places are more lively, some more peaceful, all of which wonderful in their own way.

I always wondered how Essex county got the stereotype of being the richies of MA, meanwhile Newton, Sudbury, Weston, Dover, Concord, Carlisle, Wayland, Wellesley, Needham, and company are all out there in Middlesex 🤔

Eh. It's not one of the safest areas of Boston, but bad areas in Boston are nothing like bad areas in some other cities.

The suburban home I grew up in down in Canton never got many visitors, moved to Watertown and got even less. When I'm finally ready to buy a home I think a good question for my realtor will be "What's the Halloween scene here like?"

They were incredibly loud when I would be kayaking just a mile or so south of the Misery Islands, so actually it's not totally implausible that that's what you heard.
