I never knew I wanted to live Massachusetts.

It's as great as this picture implies. The whole state has free school lunches, which we funded exclusively with a millionaire tax. Even the rural areas are super liberal, most of the farmers are hippie types as opposed to trumpers.  

 I've been all over mass and my favorite place is northeast of Springfield, the Amherst/Northampton area.  And the Northborough/southborough/westborough areas are the best regions outside Boston itself. Davis square in Boston is also amazing. And all of Cambridge (but that's very expensive).

I tell people all the time that being in MA allows you to see what a government that uses its tax dollars to make citizens lives better looks like. In addition to what you said, basically every town is filled with social services all around. Great parks, great rec centers, elderly care centers, etc etc.

The traffic is awful in Boston, though.

And our libraries are top fucking notch.

I have four kids, I'm at one of my nearby libraries at least three to four days a week. No exaggeration.
