Just wondering as I recently had another friend move to Boston (her home) then back again to Seattle after she realized how much she missed it.

I have precisely the opposite sentiment. Lived in Boston, moved to Seattle, hate it here.

How can you possibly miss the endless driving to everywhere, the stuck-up closed-minded suburbanites, the condo towers and conversions, the horrible and competing bus systems and lack of mass transit, the weak-kneed politicians, the skyrocketing rents and house prices, the pervasive evangelicalism, the embittered introversion and interpersonal frigidity, or the $4 coffee?

How can you live without the T, a medium regulah, centuries of history of national significance, local pride, unpretentious music scene, corner liquor stores, and gaggles of thoughtful intellectuals?

I don’t get it.
