You wanna talk about weather? Columbia MD is currently 99 degrees, according to Wunderground.
On the water's edge in Boston, it's a perfect 74.4. (just ignore the fact that in the city center it's 99.6) |

the further north and east you go in the US, the nastier people are. People in Boston are horrible sonsabitches. MD is a better choice. boring, maybe.....but at least ther're no traffic rotaries.

I don't think I could live in Taxachussets or Maryland. Especially as a Yankee fan and someone who isn't fond of our federal government.

I'm with sycamore. Baltimore is great. Try to live in the actual city, not out in the county...

It was on MD, not Boston. Boston would be a great place if it weren't in Taxachussets and they got rid of the Red Sox.
 From the choices you listed, I'd pick Colorado Springs.

The Boston burbs are pretty nasty, so the city would be the only way to go. The public trans worked out well for us when we visited, it's already been mentioned how awful the traffic and parking are (worst I've ever experienced).
Jim threatened to get a job there recently so I looked into real estate and decided we were not going to live there. Wait a minute - I might have just changed my mind.

I mean, we still win, because this is our third day in a row over 100 degrees and it's not even noon yet, but MD deserves a pat on the back at least... |

If it were me, I would choose Columbia and live in Baltimore. Columbia is a nice area and has a lot of stuff, though it still feels like typical suburbia to me. Baltimore is a very underrated city, much like Philadelphia. The commute to Columbia would be like 30-45 minutes, and you can take MARC to Columbia from the city. Weather is about the same as it is in NJ, and the traffic would also be about the same.
Baltimore and its suburbs (I'd say Columbia is more Baltimore than DC, though I've seen DC folks try to claim it too) have character, and the cost-of-living is lower than Boston (and DC...and probably your part of NJ for that matter). I like Boston, but I don't know if I'd want to live there for both the reasons Bruce mentioned and that shit might be piled too much on top of each other for me. |
