What part of town are you going to be around?

Hotels, restaurants, and bars all over the place, anybody asks any questions "im meeting someone", but id guess you already know how to get it done lol

Cant think of anywhere in particular that i'd steer clear of, maybe the financial district? Evertyhing kinda closes down there on the weekend, but again theres a hotel on practically every corner

One of the first things I noticed about Boston when I moved here was how much smaller it was than I expected, its a very walkable city

Every time I see more pushes for consumable electricity and not sustainable options like solar, wind and energy storage on things like flywheels and pumped hydro I truly question the rationale.

In 2015 solar and wind was very feasible and far more sustainable long term without just dumping a ton of money into whoever owns mining rights.

Yeah 80 does not sound fun

Just basing it off the cities im familiar with, mostly NYC and Boston, and a 60 minute door to door one way commute would be seen as completely standard, albeit shitty.

Something like a 10 min drive to the local train station, 40 minute train ride, 5 minute walk to a subway, 10 minute subway ride, 5 minute walk to the office is like the norm for any suburb of NYC
