I think I've had it with Massachusetts. Quite frankly, this state is seriously fucked up. The streets are so narrow in Boston that there is almost a constant traffic jam. The public transportation system is seriously ill-maintained. Sure, an occasional subway delay is bound to happen, but they are regular here. If I ever hear about a "switcher" or "signal" problem causing "significant delays" again, I think my blood pressure will go through the ceiling.
But is there an upside to this city? No. Rent is atrocious; it's statistically the city with the highest housing costs, and I would believe it. Why should I suffer through another bipolar New England winter when I can live in San Francisco for slightly less on housing costs? I have read that the middle class is escaping Massachusetts, and I would believe it. No one with any sort of love for themselves would stay here for their lifetime.
I've had it with the constant construction work.
I've had it with the constant traffic jams.
I've had it with the MBTA.
I've had it with the rental costs.
I've had it with the conservative Democrats.
I've had it...period.
I've been looking for a new place to live after I graduate. I've been looking at Toronto, thus far. I, at least, know a friendly face there. I wonder if I will enjoy that city better, because my track record with American cities and towns has not fared well, thus far.
