C-D is a relocation forum for those looking for info. on the area.

This is a large metropolis and the economic powerhorse for all of New England. "Boston" for the purpose of this forum does not stop at the city limits or even 128 anymore. This is not Topeka, KS.
I don't really agree. Although some of the the questions on the "Boston" subforum are from people looking for a suburb from which to commute into Boston, many are specifically limited to the urban core. Grad students, recent grads, city people who want the city lifestyle and would think Newton's out in the sticks.

Maybe it would be better to have three (Boston-city, Boston-suburbs, and Mass.), but there's not that much traffic on either of the two we have already.
