Leave. It's so much better elsewhere. I'm so happy in Boston.

  Oh leave I did! I left after 11 months or so. Went out to Portland but it's not much better there nowadays. Still a fun city, at least. Might try Chicago now. I hadn't realized how relatively cheap some of the areas are. Boston might be fun, too!

    Boston/Cambridge proper is pretty pricey. Although if you don't need/want to live in the city, you can get to pretty reasonable housing fairly quickly. I live a bit further out still.

    Be careful. I have a lot of friends leaving Chicago due to outrageous crime rates.

    Seattle has much of the same, don't come here! We lost 2%, we could stand to use a few more percents and I would be pretty happy with the traffic reduction. I'm staying put for sure, but I can see why this place isn't for everyone. You might want to try Salt Lake City: has a nice vibe, the Mormon influence myth is overblown, and you have mountains, forest, and scrub nearby just like in Portland.
