>"There's no affordable housing, and median salaries for most graduates are nowhere near commensurate with the cost of living in the Boston metro area." Certainly no worse than San Fran, at least.

So, certainly no worse than the single least affordable city in the entire country.

>As to the rest of the comment, how has Boston hurt you?

Honestly, I just kinda hate cold climate zones, especially when they're snobby while also offering low quality of life. But mostly I just really hate cold climates.

While I don't mind the cold too much, for me the darkness in the winter is really frustrating. It seems like such a small thing, but when it gets dark at 4:15 it really takes away my motivation to go outside.

lol, reading this at 5:28p on East Coast. It just got dark, and my body and I can't tell if it's 11pm or 8:30pm or 6:30pm. I'm not sure how to pace my evening. The natural timing that evening's slow light fade provides is truly a gift.

oh well, only 36 days until the shortest day of the year!

"Snobby"? Do you think you might be biased?

Biased? No: experienced. I actually found Silicon Valley itself to be friendlier and more open, with fewer nasty status issues, than Boston.
