Maybe the move is mostly just symbolic in nature like GE’s HQ Boston relocation. It only benefits the top executives who probably don’t want to commute from suburban CT to JFK/LGA airport for work travel to Lego Denmark.

You probably know this isn't uncommon in medical professions.

If ya'll take it, I really hope you've spent time there first.

OP gets credit for poetic justice

Guess why it's expensive. Because it's desirable.

don't think he's gonna care who you cite. aquaman over here already knows the ocean in his gut

hm. nah.

Plenty of places within an hour of Boston will give you that.. and actually way better lol. Mansfield, Easton, Arlington… basically any town off the 495 belt. The best western mass towns are mediocre by eastern mass standards, aside from a handful

Folks in Western MA are probably rejoicing that LEGO didn't make the wise decision to put the headquarters in such an awesome area.

Nope, Boston congestion. Wow...poor decision.

That’s how I always think of it! The way I see it, it’s expensive because it’s a place where a lot of people want to be. I feel like we get what we pay for :)

I guess I have to wonder, who are they trying to recruit? People with experience either got priced out to the exurbs or moved to the suburbs to raise a family. The only "talent" you have in the Boston metro area is recent college grads and juniors living with multiple roommates while saving up to buy a home along 495.

The problem is, it's anatomically incorrect.

Headless, torso-less arms. And if you stand in the middle you see a cutlet of Coretta's bare collarbone. No neck. It looks best from directly across the street.

Boston Lindy Hop is a good time. I did swing and ballroom in college, so I took one of their classes when I moved home in the fall. It was a super fun environment. They do classes and social dances to my knowledge. Lindy is quite loose and up beat. They also teach Charleston and solo jazz classes.

Shirley Leung has entered the thread. /s

I had this literal same lady show up to my apartment a couple months ago. Definitely a scam.

Not everyone drives or wants to.

Is the head office moving to Assembly Square? (Old IKEA joke, alas)

Getting real bored of these lame posts.

That was right after their disastrous divestiture of GE Capital. I’d be more concerned if like Sears announced they were moving here…

Most those suburbs are still close to an hour commute from Enfield but the COL difference is huge. You can get a large 3 bed 2 bath home with a big yard in a really good school district for $600k. Good luck finding that within an hour drive of Boston.

I wonder if the giant Lego blocks outside the Enfield CT building will make the move to Boston too?

It's what it's ruling over that isn't so great

Can they open a lego store in the middle of tge city i dont have a car and cant justify the 2.5 hour train / bus / walk to south shore or somerville :))))
