Framingham is far from the center of the barony, and the barony is the center of the social circle we share. I've never been in your Waltham house, but Framingham would be far more difficult for most of the folks we know to get to.

On a more positive outlook, moving to a place that's very T-accessible and in the center of things has increased the number and frequency of people coming to visit *me*. I highly enjoy living in Porter, even though I know it's not for everyone. Living near the T is very positive for hosting events and having people just drop by -- two friends dropped by on a whim this weekend, just because it was convenient.

I know my needs in a house are different from yours, but I am hopeful that our friendship will survive, no matter where you live. :)
