Yeah I think this forum could very well have written the article. We're a carefully segregated state of affluent professional classes, while balancing just enough godforsaken sh**holes to stuff full of section 8 to support a service economy so that said affluent have functioning fancy malls and Cheesecake Factories, and basically everyone can afford some grimy DD drive thru. It's utopia, really.

I'm mystified by how many people on here seem to absolutely loathe Massachusetts. Why do you all stay if you hate it so much?

You're mistaking bitter cynicism for hatred of my surroundings. Sure I'd be happier if COL hadn't tripled since I graduated high school, while wages in my un-wisely chosen field stayed stagnant, and so I have given up hope of ever living closer than 80 miles to Boston, but the ability to have really nice things while making under $60k per year is what moving to Tennessee is for. And I actually like my rural corner of the Commonwealth quite a bit thank you.

Over and over and over and over. So much that by now we all should know where the very rich get to live, that the state is Boston-centric, and that the geographical majority of the state is thought to be a distant wilderness inhabited by the lowly, uneducated great unwashed masses.

It's not the first time. It won't be the last time.
