Yes, ralph, Boston does have a lot going for it. But it has its problems as well. One of the worst problems is the cost of living here. I bought my condo before the price of housing went through the roof, so I count myself fortunate.
I also count myself lucky to be living in a city with top medical care. I wouldn't be here if it weren't for Mass. General Hospital and the fabulous doctors who understood the rare cancer I had and treated me so that 9 years and 5 cancers later, I'm still here and cancer free.
The other thing that's problematic is that our state government is run by a uniparty, which is not a good thing.
We have a smart, competent governor, but we also have a Democratic legislature, which is not a good combination.
However, as a state, Massachusetts always comes in at the top 5 or 10 states for having all the qualities of life (health care, education, recreation, taxes [Mass. doesn't make the top ten highest taxes.]) that make living easier than most other states. (except for the housing). The mayor, Michelle Wu, and our governor, Maura Healy are proposing legislation to address that.

Number one state to live which is a great honor, according to a poll I saw.
Boston has so much going for it that it is hard not to love.
