  Where? Worcester? Westborough , Framingham? I hated all the driving in MA trying to get to good boyy box stores like Ikea, Costco, hmart, etc
context: I would honestly be interested in living there, but there’s just no way I can afford the cost of living there. >
  
  Salaries are higher though. 
  I have the best of both worlds, got a job in Boston but now work remote in a much more affordable area a little over an hour outside of Boston. 
  I don't miss that commute at all though, sometimes it was over 2 hours each way with rush hour traffic.
  I have no idea how people can afford to live closer to the city.  My house would easily cost 3-4x as much with way less land and privacy.
