I sympathize with your point, but most COL indices for Cambridge would usually be based on the Boston metro area I think, and there just ain't anything cheap in that region.

You know, it must have gotten *really* bad in the past few years because friends of mine in Springfield area say that people are starting to commute from there (100 miles away) into Boston. The housing prices in the Springfield area have really jumped.



My brother commutes into Newton from a town just next to the Rhode Island border, and his pathetic 700 sq. ft. shack would probably sell for more than my house. (Tear-downs in Taunton and Attleboro...who'd a thunk it?)

Yep. I don't understand what happened recently to cause this. I thought there was plenty of land closer to Boston, but maybe no one wanted to sell their land for development.
