I used to live in Newton MA about 7 miles to Boston. I lived there for 25 years. The traffic there has gotten so bad in recent years I got the hell out as my kids no longer needed the school systems.
To drive 7 miles to work
after peak rush hour [after 9:00 am] would take 45 minutes including back roads to try and make it faster. I am now 30 miles out in the country sort of. It takes me 50 minutes down the Mass Pike and I couldn't be happier. No stop light drag races and people who think they are the hub of the universe driving their fancy German turbo suv's. I am always happy to be out of the city. I pay 300.00 a month just to park at work.
