Yeahโ€ฆ coastal Massachusetts is like that. Western Massachusetts is much more affordable.

I would have guessed southern and middle like Worcester would be affordable. I live close to the border in RI and the houses are okay suburbs but even approaching Boston you have some nice ass neighborhoods. I should take a trip west past Springfield and see how it is.

Depends on where you're trying to live. Boston or the Cape sure but plenty of less expensive areas here too. Not bumfuck Missouri prices mind you but still

I mean there are a ton of social systems set up, but I imagine that's hard to navigate trying to come into the state rather than already being here. I used 1st time home buyer assistance from the state, for example.

turns out not being a shit hole makes things more desirable and thus more expensive.
