it's an hour and a half minimum. I can't even begin to imagine what that would be like with traffic.

You leave a car length? I get mad if someone leaves a space large enough for someone to cut in ahead of the both of us, so any car length is obviously forbidden.

Nah kid you want Brockton, Taunton, or Swampscott.

Longmeadow, East Longmeadow or Wilbraham. For ease of getting onto the highway and pike I'd say Longmeadow. Great school system. Not sure to Cambridge but I can go from my house to Fenway Park/Ipswich St. In 90 minutes without traffic.

If medically necessary than not considered “cosmetic” and you would be covered

Sorry, I get silly sometimes

Relax.

Upton. I grew up in Upton, it is quiet and peaceful, and dare I say boring, if that’s what you’re looking for!

(X) Doubt…. But thanks for doing that hard work for me.

South Hadley (top vote when responding) is great for what you are looking for. Good school district with lots of nature and hiking trails (relative to MA). The downside is when you want to travel. BDL is a tiny airport so you get very limited flights and pay through the roof and you should expect 90 to 120 minutes to get to Cambridge or even more if it’s during rush hour. Grafton may be the most well rounded option on your list.

Sure. I live in Worcester, come at me bro

> To be fair, this is how I feel about them regardless of how they drive.

Yeah, they can all go fuck themselves.

STRAIGHT TO JAIL

Accurate.

Ita definitely not you. Absolutely not. No way.

Awesome! Well you do you, but don't get consumed with this 495 idea. If you want to live and work in the City of Boston, it is possible. Is it tremendously expensive? Yes. But rewarding? Also yes. You may end up in a shit hole 4th floor walk up with no A/C or parking for $3000/mo, but it's an experience. Use that time to learn the MBTA and scout around. Exactly, get established and the rest will come. Bon voyage

Or when someone in front of them yields before entering a rotary.

Love me some Easthampton. Live there myself, and I am perfectly willing to sell OP my house for $1mm

With an occasional commute to Cambridge?? That’s nuts

If you have to commute to Cambridge once in a while would any of these actually work? South Hadley to Cambridge is almost 2 hours in moving traffic. Gosh- even from Framingham it’s impossible to get to the city (or an absolute time consuming pita driving)

West of 495 is much more politically conservative until you hit the Berkshires, which is a long commute to Cambridge.

Have you excluded North of Boston communities like Wenham, South Hamilton, & West Newbury?

I think he may have been there for rehab. Just a thought. It is a spiritual/church "retreat".

I've got a friend who says this place is a conversion camp as well- despite being illegal in this state. I can't confirm the truth to it- but it wouldn't shock me.

"cuts" in Massachusetts simply switching lanes is considered cutting someone off
