Boston is so overrated, but it’s OK for a Tier 2 city if you have a family. The city also feels very, very white which isn’t ideal if you’re a POC but I guess I’m used to NYC. The community also feels very insular compared to other cities.
I’ve spent a lot of time in Boston over the last 5 years and it’s not for me, but to your point I can understand why it’s expensive.
Boston is as black as NYC statistically though. 24% Boston vs 23% in NY. You were probably just in the very white neighborhoods.
