Unfortunately, the good dumpling places in Montreal's Chinatown are far superior to those we have here, sorry.

Prestigious according to who? I can assure you they are not.and if you said that to one of the officers they would stare at you.

This is the cruel world we live in. Heat waves kill, winters kill

This. Even me right now as I’m job hunting, don’t apply to certain jobs because the commute time will kill me, even tho miles wise isn’t that bad. On the other hand, I have an interview tomorrow on a place that is 43 miles away but I’m going to be going against traffic, which makes it the same as my current commute time to my job that is only 12 miles away.
I used to live in Revere and loved every second of it. The sumner tunnel will be closed from May to September so some commuters will divert to the Ted Williams tunnel/Tobin Bridge to make it even worst.

Excuse the dumb question, but what makes it a human trafficking pitch?

We're not as worried about her working to be honest. Technically we can probably get by on my income when we first move out there. She's also got a ton of retail manager experience (Target for example) so would be able to most likely find something near wherever we decide to move.

Definitely check out spot hero, sometimes you can find garage spots for cheaper than the standard rate. For food, my personal favorite is French Quarter, but there are so many options in the area!

Brighton or Watertown are your best bets. Brighton is super convenient if you live near oak square, you can hop on the pike or get to storrow drive real quick.

I strongly recommend your wife find a job first prior to picking out where to live, unless her job is going to be remote.
Where you live and how flexible her schedule is will have major implications on commute time. Distance is not a good indicator.

Yeah, that sucked. I thought living in MA my whole live prepared me for this winter. A little bit, but damn it's real winter out here

My wife is from LA, and it took her about 4-5 winters to get used to it.

That’s great advice!! I was actually considering working for one of the biotechs in that location before I accepted the remote job. Thank you.

That's a logical fallacy, Fluffy. You can call the police and post here. Why did you assume they didn't?

Yeah for as progressive as the area is you would think they would ban that shit as I'm sure it has a huge affect on lower income people being able to easily move.

Have rented multiple places here in Minneapolis (including one of the most expensive in the city) and never paid a fee like that.
The key is finding complexes that are managed by larger national companies (Greystar, Lincoln Property Management, etc.) There's no "broker" to pay since you're dealing directly with the leasing office at the apartment complex.

I work 100% remote (IT consulting) and can work anyplace in the US. Wife isn't sure where she will be working yet but will find something to supplement income.
I've seen quite a few apartment complexes outside of Boston for $3000-3500 for 2bed/bath, ~1000-1200 sq feet.
And yeah, my choice of words might be poor taste but the brokers fee is idiotic.

Quincy or Braintree. One bonus to this location is that if your remote biotech job ever goes away you're a one-seat ride on the Red Line from Kendall Square.
