[quote=Anonymous]Depends what you mean by Western Mass.  I've heard people think of Western Mass as being the Worcester area, which it really isn't.  Worcester has suburbs you'll find similar to Eastern suburbs but not as many upper end ones. Getting out to actual Western Mass, it's very rural.  Farms, small towns, or small college towns.  You'll find some MAGA, sure, but they are more likely to just go up North and settle in similar areas of NH where gun laws and the like are going to be more favorable to them.   There's a drug problem, as you'll find in any type of rural community.  But you can also find some great small towns to raise kids if that's the vibe you want.  It just won't be an amazing school district and there won't be a lot offered.  But life will be much more laid back.  That differs very much from the Eastern towns where there are a lot of towns with a great school system and a lot to offer.

Granted I grew up in one of those rich Eastern towns and there was a drug problem back in the early 2000s so I can only imagine what it's like now.   [/quote]
