I mean I think there’s a difference between ‘kind’, which Boston is not, and ‘nice’. Boston is a city full of people who I feel support each other. For example, I left my phone on the green line on accident a few months back. My friend who was with me called it, a man answered. He got off the next stop and met us there and gave it back - I offered to pay, but he didn’t want anything.

Did I get extremely lucky? Yes, but I also feel like this is something that would be much less likely to happen in other cities in the US.
