Agreed, especially in a college environment. They’ll tell you where they want to pay.

Hopefully they give them the option to work remotely, you can buy a beautiful home in the Springfield-Hartford area for the price of a shack or shoebox here in Boston.

Always ask for the very top of the range, or even very slightly over.

>Companies insisting on putting their HQs in the most expensive neighborhoods of the most expensive city in the country then refusing to pay workers enough to live anywhere near the office really grinds my gears.
What a relief Lego is dedicated to its humanitarian mission by moving to Boston instead of Manhattan! Truly looking out for the little guy... er... minifigure!

This is so selfish. So say the fire is real, now firefighters have to risk their lives to save you since you were too lazy to get out when you heard the alarm

>they have effectively made it more likely that I will die in a fire.
No, YOU have made that more likely. You have chosen to ignore them as an annoyance.
Whereas me? In one apartment building I lived in, I remember more than once frantically stuffing my cats into carriers, and rushing out into the winter cold wearing only a pair of pants - no shirt, no coat, no shoes, not even socks. Was I annoyed if/when it turned out to be a false alarm? Yes.
Was I any slower to do the whole thing all over, the next time it went off? NO.

The fire will not kill you its the smoke even if the fire is stories away. Good read for you 17 people killed a year ago not 1 of them by fire https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2022/07/08/nyregion/bronx-fire-nyc.html

How many Katrina level "surge incidents" will it take before living on the coast is no longer viable?
Or are you defining "Boston gone" to mean if one hill survived then the city preservers?

It would sell much better than a Fenway Park.

Enfield is a pretty mediocre town, but the adjacent towns Longmeadow, East Windsor, and Suffield are pretty nice. Honestly, I'd be willing to move down there, I'd be living a lot more comfortably than I'd be living here in Boston.
