Have been renting in Boston for two years because I go to school here, I'm renting again next year. It's not uncommon in my zip code for rents to be raised $150-200/bedroom/month every year. The green line is 300ft from my house, yet when I worked downtown, the journey (~3 mi) routinely took 40 minutes or more. The neighborhood I live in has only one store, a Stop and Shop, and it's incredibly expensive, compared to stores in adjacent neighborhoods. Everything just seems overwhelmingly pricey here, and for little actual value.
