Someone let this guy know that one premise of this thread is that the CSA only makes sense for the Bay Area only and its been discussed on this forum ad nauseam.
Philadelphia's doesn't include Trenton or Allentown, yet Boston's includes Providence.
Nice try!
Not trying.
In fact I totally agree. Just throwing another cog in the mix.
how does that make Boston more desirable? A lesser house at a 35% higher cost? Please explain that because it sounds absurd.
Mainline suburbs are better than anywhere i've seen in the Boston metro. The seaboard is nice, but one im not personally fond of. Doesn't do much for me.
I went to college in Boston and it was amazing, its the best city in the world to go to college, I had to move out because the cost of living was too high, Boston can charge high rents because it gets trust fund kids from all over the world to go to Harvard, MIT, BC and BU. I knew kids in college that were already millionaires before they even went to college and rented million dollar condos in Back Bay and fancy homes in Newton. Boston is super expensive because it has a lot of rich people that go to college in that city and its a very educated city.

NYC has Columbia, Philadelphia has UPenn, SF has Stanford, Chicago has UofC, etc.
I think Boston is one of the best, but not the best, and even then, i'd probably rather go to one of these for college anyway.

Yes - I know this first hand. My brother works in the real estate industry. His clients are looking at 100+
years old wooden-home with no insulation trying to compete with others for over asking price. He told
them why don't they consider some brand new brick-homes somewhere in the South for about 1/3 of
the price. Mortgage free!

That house you linked to in PA is a heck of a lot father outside of Philly than Newton is from Boston. You could easily go 20-30 miles outside of Boston and find houses that are newer and cheaper than the one you picked for Newton.
